The Influence of Electro Pneumatic Trainer Media in the Subject of Industrial Electronics Engineering for Industrial Control System Elements at State Vocational High School 5 Padang

Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the impact of electro-pneumatic trainers on the subjects of industrial electronics engineering for industrial control system elements at State Vocational High School (SVHC) 5 Padang. The population and sample of this research comprised 28 students from class XI of Industrial Electronics Engineering (TELIND), with 14 students allocated to the experimental group and 14 students to the control group. The results of the hypothesis test analysis, with a significance level of 5% (2-tailed), yielded a calculated t-value (6.525) > the critical t-value (2.056). Consequently, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected, and the hypothesis asserting "There is an Influence of Electro Pneumatic Trainer Media on Industrial Electronics Engineering Subjects for Industrial Control System Elements at SVHC 5 Padang" was accepted. This indicates that learning using electro-pneumatic media trainers has a significant effect in enhancing learning outcomes compared to software-based simulation media, with an influence of 8.13%. Thus, it can be inferred that the utilization of electro-pneumatic media trainers during the learning process has contributed to an increase in the average learning outcomes of students.
