The effect of motivation in learning used an electric installation automation trainer based on Project Based Learning

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of using the Industrial Electric Automation Installation trainer kit using project based learning (PjBL) and motivation on learning outcomes. Project Based Learning is a learning model that involves students actively in designing learning goals to produce tangible products or projects. By using PLC-Zelio as a control device, students can design electrical systems automatically based on electric loads according to priority, so that the use of electric power can be efficient. This kit trainer is used to complete the information conveyed orally by the lecturer in accordance with the demands of the DU/DI oriented curriculum by considering the needs of the students. The study design is categorized as quasi-experimental designed with factorial experimental designs. This study uses research and development methods based on multi-disciplines with a quantitative approach. (1) student learning outcomes with a project-based learning model are better than students who get direct learning, and complete learning outcomes by getting KKM (Learning Completeness Criteria) ≥ 70. (2) learning outcomes in a group of students with high motivation are better. (3) there is an influence between the application of learning models of interest and motivation to student learning outcomes.
