PERCEPTION AND USE OF SCOPE ELECTRONIC TRAINER KIT BY STUDENTS IN TEACHING & LEARNING PROCESS

Abstract

Scope Electronics Trainer is a device that functions as a tool for the teaching and learning process and also for testing electronic circuits. With this trainer kit, research in the
field of electronic engineering can be carried out easily and the cost of the study is cheaper as these tools have a reasonable price. This trainer is a combination of three instruments in one trainer including the DC power supply, the oscilloscope, and the function generator. This study aimed at investigating the perception and use of trainer kits in the teaching and learning process. The effectiveness of using this trainer kit in educational settings has been evaluated through a survey on students 25 students that had attended Electrical Technology and Measurement course and used this trainer in their practical work in December 2018 session at the Department of Electrical Engineering in Politeknik Mukah. Research data analysis is using the statistic method to find mean score to get the overall rating of the trainer kit and student’s perception and the response has been positive, with the total average mean achievement was 4.80 of the correspondence has shown positive feedbacks, indicating the usefulness of the trainer kit. This trainer kit will give students a great deal of practical work in laboratories and also improve the teaching and learning sessions in the classroom.
