Split Unit PCB Diagnosis Kit (Kit-DPUP) As A Teaching Aid

Abstract

In the evolving landscape of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), the Split Unit PCB Diagnosis Kit (KIT-DPUP) emerges as an innovative teaching aid designed to enhance the learning experience in HVAC systems. This study explores the integration of KIT-DPUP within TVET, highlighting its role in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Through a structured approach utilizing the ADDIE development model, the research outlines the creation, implementation, and evaluation of the KIT-DPUP, emphasizing its potential to provide hands-on experience and improve the comprehension of complex HVAC concepts. The methodology includes a thorough analysis, design, development, and evaluation phase, culminating in a robust assessment by five panels of experts. The findings reveal a high level of agreement on the kit's design, development, and functionality, evidenced by the Item Content Validity Index (I-CVI) values ranging from 0.8 to 1.0 and the Scale-Content Validity Index (S-CVI) averaging 0.98 for functionality and 1.00 for both design and development aspects. These results underscore the kit's alignment with established product development characteristics and pedagogical effectiveness. The study underscores the importance of innovative teaching aids in maintaining student interest, diversifying instructional methods, and preparing a skilled workforce for the challenges of the modern industry. Recommendations for further enhancements are discussed to optimize the educational impact of the KIT-DPUP. The study concludes that the KIT-DPUP stands as a testament to the efficacy of practical, interactive learning tools in technical education, aligning with the broader goals of TVET to provide quality, industry-relevant education.
