Abstract
Electronic design automation software is a part of software learning. This study uses digital electronic circuit design software as learning media, namely, Electronic Design Automation (EDA), in the form of simulations and a guided inquiry learning model in higher engineering education. The device is a type of multimedia, because it involves graphics, animation, and text as external data. The software facilitates the learning process of cadets using the guided inquiry learning model. Given its accessibility, mobile learning has its own advantages. This study uses quantitative data with a type of quasi-experimental research. The sample consists of 100 cadets in the engineering study program. Results show that the model can improve the learning process of cadets in the air digital engineering program subject, in which the implementation of the model has been integrated into a special theme from the test scores and results of cadets. An effect is observed on the use of the EDA and guided inquiry model to the learning outcome and motivation of cadets in engineering education. The researchers concluded that the implementation of EDA and the guided inquiry model are effective. In addition, it provides benefits for practitioners and educators in improving the learning outcomes and motivation of cadets in engineering education.
Highlights
Surabaya Aviation Polytechnic is an organization of vocational education providers under the Ministry of Transportation [1], [2]
Electronic Design Automation (EDA) technology based on Computer Aided Design (CAD) has been gradually developed from the main logic circuits that can be programmed for design and development
The results explain that the guided inquiry model can provide innovations and address the problems at the university, especially the lack of understanding of the basic EDA procedures and concepts in subjects
Summary
Surabaya Aviation Polytechnic is an organization of vocational education providers under the Ministry of Transportation [1], [2]. Their aim is to form and produce graduates equipped with knowledge, skills, and expertise in the air transportation subsector [3], [4]. Recent developments in Web 4.0 technology have demonstrated that learning in engineering education can be supported by technology that is accessible to cadets [9] wherever they are and by location-based learning in assisting active, practical activities [10], [11]. The use of the latest learning media through technology can help cadets become increasingly active in practical activities. A new type of technology, namely, Electronic Design Automation (EDA), has become popular because of the need to overcome the complexity and scalability in design with more than one billion transistors [12], [13]
