Lgate-S: Simulation Media for Learning Logic Gate

Abstract

This study tries to develop a learning type of simulation type because theoretically, simulation is considered more effective in helping students with high levels of anxiety in understanding a topic. That is because it presents a series of contextual objects/content that demands student involvement in conducting experiments. 84 Vocational High School students in the IT field in several schools in the city of Bandung tested this simulation media. From three times of media testing, the results obtained that the simulation media can make students better understand the concept of abstract logic material because simulations visualize the content on electric circuit illustrations that made as if the user is in a real situation. Nevertheless, the simulation media still need to be improved, especially in terms of the scenario of the presentation of the exercise and the complexity of the cases presented.
