A development of instructional package using problem-based learning for power system transients

Abstract

This paper purposes to develop instructional package by using Problem-Based Learning for power system transients in case study of Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) which has developed the instructional package of problem-based learning for power system transients from the real problems in the power system by designing and creating instructional package such as teacher manuals which consist of activity plans, content paper, activities, tests, instruction media and program manuals, etc. They are used for teaching and learning 4 units: basic of electrical power system, power system simulation, simulation program and case studies of power system transients which directed to 5 experts in order to assess the quality of the instructional package. It was found that the developed instructional package was appropriate extremely. After that, the experiment was conducted with a sample group of 30 undergraduate students enrolled in the power system analysis course, graduate technical education curriculum, electrical engineering, King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok. The achievement of learners through the learning process with the instructional package by performance testing according to the Meguigans’s standard criteria is equal to 1.09. In addition, the learners were satisfied at a high level.
