Abstract

Purpose – Robotics learning in higher education requires the integration of conceptual understanding and practical skills, yet the availability of learning media that effectively bridges theory and practice remains limited. This study aimed to develop a flying robot–based Trainer Kit learning media for robotics courses and to examine its feasibility through expert validation, practicality evaluation, and a limited trial of student learning outcomes. Design – The study employed a research and development (R&D) approach using the Four-D model, limited to the Define, Design, and Develop stages. A limited trial was conducted using a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 12 students enrolled in a Robotics course. Findings – The validation results showed an average score of 4.20 from media experts and 4.33 from material experts (very valid category). The practicality questionnaire results indicated high usability, with average scores of 4.53 from students and 4.38 from lecturers (very practical category). Student learning outcomes improved from a mean pretest score of 56.58 to a posttest score of 89.25, with an average N-Gain of 0.75 (high category). A paired-samples t-test indicated a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001) with a very large practical effect (Cohen’s d ≈ 9.23). Research implications –  These findings indicate that the developed learning media is valid and practical and showed improved learning outcomes in a limited trial (N=12). However, the results should be interpreted as preliminary evidence due to the one-group design and small sample size. Originality – This study develops and evaluates a flying robot–based Trainer Kit as an innovative learning media to bridge theory and practice in robotics education.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of applying the Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) cooperative learning model assisted by handouts on the nahwu learning outcomes of Grade VIII students at SMP IT Al-Ishlah Maros. It also compares the learning outcomes between students who are taught using the STAD cooperative learning model with handout assistance and those who receive direct instruction. The background of this research is based on the low nahwu learning outcomes, which are attributed to less varied teaching methods and limited instructional time. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, specifically the posttest-only control group design. The population consisted of all Grade VIII students at SMP IT Al-Ishlah Maros in the current academic year, totaling 112 students. The sample, determined through purposive sampling, comprised 42 students divided into two classes: the experimental class, which used the STAD model with handout assistance, and the control class, which used direct instruction. The research instrument was a learning achievement test in the form of multiple-choice items and sentence construction tasks. The results showed a significant difference in learning outcomes between the students taught using the STAD model with handout assistance, who achieved a higher average score of 79.17, and those taught using direct instruction, who obtained a lower average score of 42.17. This finding was confirmed by an independent t-test, which produced a t-value of 10.208 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The implications of this study indicate that the STAD cooperative learning model assisted by handouts can serve as an effective alternative to improve students’ nahwu learning outcomes. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to incorporate this model as part of their instructional strategies.
