Science activity for gifted young scientist: Thermodynamics law experiment media based IoT

Abstract

In this research, thermodynamics law experiments media based IoT was developed and tested. The purpose of this research was to assess the effectiveness of media through a problem-based learning laboratory for gifted young scientists. This research is Research and Development with ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Develompment, Implementation, and Evaluation) models. The research subjects consisted of four expert validators, two teachers and one groups of 108 students in Senior High School 2 in Batang City, Indonesia. Data were gathered by using questionnaires, observation, and written test. The results of the Normalized-gain test were 0.79 for the experiment class and 0.41 and 0.30 for the control class. This media is easily assembled, based on digital, equipped with manuals and student worksheets. The validation results from the media experts 3.81 (Very Good), the results of the validation from the material experts 3.54 (Very Good) and the results of the physics teacher's responses covering all aspects of the material and multimedia 3.68 (Very Good). The results of the validation show that thermodynamic law experiment media based IoT is appropriate to be used as a medium for learning thermodynamics law.
