PENGEMBANGAN TRAINER PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROL (PLC) S7-1200 SEBAGAI MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN INSTALASI MOTOR LISTRIK DI SMK

Abstract

Development of Programmable Logic Control (PLC) Trainer S7-1200 as a Learning Media for Electric Motors Installation Course in SMK. This research aims to develop a learning media for electric motor installation course, to assess the feasibility, and to identify the effect of the learning media on the student leaning outcomes improvement. This study used the ADDIE research design model, with a quantitative approach. The experimental design used a Quasi-Experimental Design with Nonequivalent Control Group Design model. The product feasibility result was declared as very feasible. The increase on the average score of pretest and posttest was 20.20% for the control group and 33.20% for the experimental group. The analysis using t-test showed that there was no significant difference on the pretest score, but there was a significant difference on the post-test score. The results of the gain test showed the average gain of 0.313 for the control class and 0.482 for the experimental class. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the use of the developed learning media S7-1200 trainer has been proved to be effective and suitable for learning in the Electric Motor Installation course.
