Electric Circuits is one of mandatory courses in electrical engineering. This course consists of basic electronic components, modeling concept and circuit analysis in direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) which are fundamental for varies advance courses. However, this course gives a significant contribution to student's failure at every term. The data, from last term, show that 16.02% of 256 students got D, E and T (DET) grade. That is exceed 15%, a standard set by Telkom University. This research proposes a fusion method between Learning Together method (LT) and software (LTSPICE) simulation. LT method's aim is to leveling knowledge for each student meanwhile software simulation's is to give a better understanding for students and verify their work. The purpose of this research is to find a suitable learning method which can reduce DET index and to increase student's achievement in electric circuits course at Telkom University. This research is an action research which is designed in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four steps: Planning, Acting, Observing and Reflecting. The research data are obtained from observation form, assignment and exam results (pretest and posttest). These results showed that the proposed method can increase student's achievement about 3% in final exam compared with a mid-term exam and it successfully decreased DET index about 5% compared to previous term results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
