A Heart Rate Measuring Trainer Kit as a Medical Electronics Practice Learning Media

Abstract

This research was aimed to produce the learning media for a heart rate measuring trainer kit that can be used easily at relatively cheap price to support the learning process of Medical Electronics Practice. This research adapted the Alessi and Trollip's development model which consisted of three stages, namely planning, design, and development. The designs used to test the product was alpha testing and beta testing. The subjects of the trial were limited to four students from the Electronics Engineering Study Program (D3) at Yogyakarta State University. The techniques used to to collect the data were interviews, observation, and questionnaires. The technique used to analyze the data was qualitative descriptive analysis. The result of the research showed that in general the heart rate measuring trainer obtained the average score of 3.49 which was included in the very feasible category. The assessmentof trainer kit was seen from four assessment indicators, namely design, operation, usefulness, and suitability. A trainer kit with a very feasible category could be used in learning Medical Electronics Practice. A heart rate measuring trainer kit made the practical learning process more real.
