Development of Practicum Assessment Rubric Assisted by Google Spreadsheet in Basics Electronics Material

The implementation of practicum assessment rubrics in the Physics Education Laboratory of UIN Alauddin Makassar has fallen short of its full potential. Thus, it is critical to develop a standardized rubric. The practicum assessment rubric is utilized to assess the proficiency of students during their practicum. This research aims to (1) describe the procedure for developing a practicum implementation assessment rubric for Basic Electronics courses with the assistance of the Google Spreadsheet application; and (2) describe the quality of the practicum implementation assessment rubric based on validity and practicality for Basic Electronics courses with the assistance of the Google Spreadsheet application. The utilized development model is Tessmer's formative research model, which comprises two stages: preliminary and formative evaluation. The formative evaluation stage incorporates self-evaluation, prototyping (including expert reviews, one-on-one, and small group), and a field test. This research was conducted at the Physics Education Laboratory of UIN Alauddin Makassar. The research subject comprised two individuals: the main subject and the trial test subject. The main subject comprised two individuals who subsequently formed the product validator team. The trial test subject comprised seven individuals who were employed as assistants for the Electronics practicum in 2022/23. The research results indicated that the validity of the developed product is deemed valid with the validity value of 1. Based on the practicality analysis results, which indicated that 29% of users provided practical responses and 71% provided very practical responses regarding the developed products, it can be inferred that the developed assessment rubric satisfied the practicality criteria. The results of this study suggest that the developed assessment rubric facilitates the assessment administered by the practicum assistants. Additionally, the developed assessment rubric is applicable to all practicum titles pertaining to Basic Electronics.

Preliminary research on the development of PS-BK learning model in basic electronics courses

This research is motivated by the importance of increasing the competence of human resources in facing global competition in the current 4.0 revolution era. Therefore, learning models that can prepare students to master critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and creative and innovative thinking skills must be developed. This preliminary study aims to identify the elements necessary for the development of the PS-BK (Integrated Problem Solving and Creative Thinking) learning model in basic electronics courses. The Plomp development design’s preliminary research stage is this one. The needs and context analysis, literature review, and conceptual theory development make up this preliminary research. Data collection techniques are using questionnaires and observation sheets. The data analysis technique used is the percentage technique. The learning outcomes obtained by dividing the value with the highest percentage, on the B- and C+ grades, indicate that the majority of lecturers use conventional models so that learning activities have not maximally involved students in building knowledge and developing their thinking skills, over the preceding three years (2019, 2020, and 2021).. Based on needs and context analysis as well as analysis of student characteristics in basic electronics learning, it is known that PS-BK learning models need to be developed in improving students’ abilities and developing creative thinking ability.

University electronics engineering students’ approaches of integrating mathematical ideas into the learning of physical electronics in basic electronics

The limited knowledge of mathematical ideas and the high dropout rate of students in the schools of engineering throughout the country each year is alarming. One of the reasons attributed to this high failure rate is the students’ inability to integrate and apply the main mathematics constructs covered in the engineering courses. In this regard, this paper takes as its point of departure that the integration of mathematical concepts in engineering courses is unavoidable, particularly, in physical electronics. It gives credence to the objectives of engineering courses, that students should be able to interpret mathematics during design, apply appropriate technology to solve natural and man-made problems, evaluate engineering solutions, and appreciate a broad spectrum of knowledge. It thus argues for the use of a practical pedagogical multidisciplinary integrative model in the learning and teaching of engineering courses. The focus of the paper is on electronic engineering students’ knowledge of the mathematical ideas adopted and how the students blend and integrate advanced mathematics into their learning of physical electronics in a basic electronics course. The participants report that certain strategies are adopted when integrating mathematical concepts into the teaching and learning of physical electronics. These include Identification of the problem, selection of appropriate mathematical ideas, the analysis of the problem mathematics concepts, recognizing the degree of the mathematics concepts usage during integration, memorization method and the final result of interdisciplinary integration. This study was carried out using a qualitative approach of data collection in order to report a naturalistic view of the 15 electronics engineering students learning physical electronics as a course.

Teaching and Learning Basic Electronics with a Professional Circuit Analyzer Program

Summary Modem technology offers powerful professional programs that were originally designed for scientific and practical engineering purposes. These programs are now easily operated by simple graphic interfaces. Even if they offer much more than we may need for instructional purposes, these tools can still be very useful as a support for teaching and learning both the subject matter domain and additional general skills from relatively early stages of scientific and technological education. This article describes the instructional approaches developed for using a professional electronic circuit analyzer program as a learning environment for students in basic electronics courses and discusses the general implications of using such programs for instruction.
