Abstract

Advances in information and communication technology have changed the paradigm in the agricultural sector, especially in the application of the Internet of Things (IoT). An IoT-based monitoring system is an innovative step as there is an increasing need for technology in the agricultural sector and the development of the world of education. SMK Negeri 3 Salatiga, majoring in agribusiness, has great potential in hydroponic agriculture of lettuce plants, but there is no use of IoT technology in it. Hydroponic learning activities at SMK Negeri 3 Salatiga still use manual hydroponic learning media, which results in the competence possessed by teachers and students not being competent in IoT technology, especially its application to hydroponics. Meanwhile, if adjusted to learning outcomes, students should be able to fertilize plants in a modern way. The purpose of this study is to develop and implement hydroponic monitoring learning media based on Internet of Things technology. The application of learning media aims to improve the understanding or competence of teachers and students at SMK Negeri 3 Salatiga. The research methods used are Research and Development with the ADDIE development model, as well as one group pre-test and post-test design research design with 31 samples as a competency improvement test. This study resulted in 26 participants out of 31 participants experiencing an increase in competency in the results of the post-exam exam. So, it can be concluded that there is an increase in the competence of using hydroponic IoT by 83% among teachers and students.

Abstract

This research addresses the competency gap between the graduation outcomes of Electronic Engineering Vocational High School (SMK) students and industry requirements. The theoretical nature of the existing curriculum has resulted in a lack of practical skills among students. The objective of this study was to develop an STM32 Microcontroller Training Kit integrated with Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and assess its feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness in improving learning outcomes in Electronic Engineering competencies. The study used a Research and Development approach with the ADDIE model. The research subjects were 11th-grade students of the Industrial Electronic Engineering program at SMK Negeri 1 Kalinyamatan, divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through observations, interviews, expert validation, user response questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test assessments. The validation results indicated that the product was highly feasible, with a Content Validity Index (CVI) of 0.97 from media experts and 0.92 from subject matter experts. Practicality testing yielded a CVI score of 0.95, classified as very practical. The effectiveness test using an Independent Sample T-Test revealed a significance value of 0.00<0.05; the post-test mean score for the experimental group was 85.00, significantly higher than the control group’s 68.33. The N-Gain analysis showed a 69.89% improvement in the experimental group, indicating that the intervention was moderately effective. In conclusion, the STM32-based PjBL Training Kit is valid, practical, and effective for improving the competencies of SMK students in alignment with industry standards within vocational electronic education.
