E-learning Courseware Development for Power Electronics Course

Abstract

Based on the results of studies in the power electronics course, it shows that learning outcomes in the power components of semiconductors and inverter systems are not satisfactory. Innovation in teaching materials is an alternative to increasing this competency. This paper purposes a learning module through e-learning that is valid, practical, and effective, therefore it can improve student learning outcomes and motivation. This study uses a research and development method with the Plomp development model. The research subjects were electrical engineering education students taking power electronics courses. The data analysis technique used is descriptive analysis technique to describe the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the learning module through e-learning. The result of the research is a learning module through e-learning that is valid, practical, and effective on the component material of semiconductor and inverter power systems that can improve student learning outcomes and learning motivation

Development and Evaluation of E-Learning Courses

“…Research and development research methodology for the study of education is crucial because it ensures that the techniques used to study educational issues and topics are valid, effective, and reliable, and that the conclusions drawn from educational research are reliable and useful [6][7]. Within R&D research methodology, we have chosen R&D research methodology using a three-stage development model [8,21,27,28]. The first stage of preliminary research is the analysis of the course outline, the concept, and the pace of the learners.…”

“…The above considerations and studies by [22,18,34,21,3,23] showcase the need for the suggest the ongoing development of the courseware development for the learners to learn in their own pace, speed, and time. In the case of course ICT and e-Research in this study, it attempts in developing a reliable, practical, and efficient processes.…”

“…Blending virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and interactive multimedia into a single learning environment provides young people with a dynamic, real-time, and immersive resource for learning about and practicing road safety. For enhancing student learning outcomes and motivation, Krismadinata et al researched creating an e-learning courseware module for a power electronics course that would be valid, practical, and effective [21]. The course materials were adapted by AM et al to be more accessible to students who traditionally struggle in the classroom; the study explained how signaling principles were applied to the development of courseware for low-achieving students as part of the study [3].…”

“…Creating a digital learning module with images, animations, texts, and videos can assist students in visualizing the material. The behavioristic, cognitive, and constructivist perspectives serve as the theoretical underpinning for creating learning modules for online instructions in online and distance modes [21,33]. The three learning theories-behavioristic, cognitive, and constructivist--inform ICT-based education.…”

Interactive Module Based on QR Code to Increase Learning Interest in Entrepreneurship Course for College Students

“…The module can be used by students independently or in groups without the presence of a teacher (Krismadinata, Mulya, & Juwita, 2022). Because in the development of the module, there are already instructions that are used to make it easier for the students.…”
