Developing Learning Media Application for Industrial Automation through TPACK Approach (Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge)

Abstract

The research was carried out at schools with the following stages of implementation: (1) at the beginning of the face-to-face learning, students were given an introduction to technology in responding to their basic industrial automation skills, (2) demonstrations and presentations of Learning Media Applications for Industrial Automation through the TPACK approach, (3) trials of Learning Media Applications for Industrial Automation that have been made. From the results, it is obtained that the design of Industrial Automation learning media applications through the TPACK approach  encourage students to explore the concept of industrial automation more deeply. The performance of learning media application for Industrial Automation is successfully done. In addition, the level of students’ understanding shows that the application of Industrial Automation learning media provides significant benefits based on the results of variable testing. Previously, it was difficult for students to understand the concepts of technology and industrial automation. After learning with Industrial Automation application media, students more easily understand the concepts of technology and industrial automation.
