Developing instructional media integrated with learning style instrument for industrial electronics study programs of vocational high schools

Abstract

The study was aimed at revealing (1) how the instructional media of industrial electronics integrated with learning style instrument was developed, (2) the feasibility of the instructional media of industrial electronics integrated with the learning style instruments, (3) the effect of the instructional media on learning achievement, and (4) the effect of the instructional media on learning satisfaction. The study employed the Design and Development Research (DDR) model. The development procedure used the Specific Project Phases Cluster. The prototype of the product was tested by subject matter, software, and media experts related to the teaching media as a whole, and through a small group field test among a number of students. The data were collected through questionnaires in the form of Likert scale and were analyzed descriptively quantitatively. The results of the study showed the instructional media was developed through the design and development research (DDR) model with the Design & Development Tools cluster which served as a part of the Product and Tool research main cluster, the instructional media was feasible to use without revision, there was a statistically significant difference in the learning achievement before and after the use of the instructional media, with the effect size of d=1.49 (d>0.8), so the effect of the media was categorized to have a large effect, and the instructional media could bring positive effects on the learning satisfaction.
