Mobile Robotics Training Kit: Enhancing Learning Achievement, Practical Skills, and Problem-Solving Skills of Industrial Electrical Engineering Students

Abstract

The complexity of microcontroller learning that must combine theoretical concepts and real practices makes it difficult for many students to master the competencies of microcontroller control systems. In addition, it is difficult to achieve practical skills that students must master without a training kit that can interpret the application of microcontroller control systems. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of mobile robotic training kits to improve student learning achievement, practical skills, and problem-solving skills. The true-experiment research method used in this study with the number of participants consisted of 76 students, who were divided into 38 experimental groups and 38 control groups randomly selected. The results of this study show that the mobile robotic training kit is significantly effective in improving students' learning achievement, practical skills, and problem-solving skills in the field of microcontroller control systems. This research provides empirical evidence of the importance of implementing a mobile robotics training kit in the learning process to improve students' competencies and prepare them with competencies relevant to the needs of the world of work.
