Digitalization of Physics Laboratory Tools: Increase Undergraduate Students Learning Motivation and Problem-Solving Skills

Abstract

This research aims to determine the feasibility, effectiveness, and practicality, as well as student responses regarding the development of laboratory equipment on Arduino-based free fall motion material. The research method is Research and Development. Data collection techniques used in this study consisted of questionnaires in the form of questionnaires, direct observation, and documentation. Three media experts as validators to test the validity of the teaching aids developed in terms of feasibility, effectiveness, and practicality based on the VISUAL aspect (Visible, Interest, Simple, Useful, Accurate, Legitimate). The results showed that the laboratory equipment developed met the eligibility criteria based on the good category expert validation test. The laboratory tool on free fall motion based on Arduino that has been developed meets the effectiveness and practicality criteria based on the expert validation test in the good category.
