Abstract

Background of study: This community service activity aimed to address the gap in technological literacy and practical skills among students at SMAN 6 Bengkulu Tengah, Indonesia, by introducing the Arduino microcontroller platform as a tool for enhancing STEM education.Aims and scope of paper: The primary objective was to assess the effectiveness of project-based Arduino training in improving students' understanding of electronics and programming. The study specifically evaluated cognitive gains, development of practical skills, and increased student confidence.Methods: The program employed a participatory approach, combining interactive lectures, hands-on project development, and pretest and posttest evaluations using the Kahoot! platform. The training involved 41 participants and included collaborative project work in groups.Result: The intervention resulted in a significant 36% increase in posttest scores (from 42% to 78%), with notable improvements in component knowledge (+82%) and schematic understanding (+79%). Additionally, 87% of participants reported increased confidence in experimenting with electronics projects.Conclusion: Findings demonstrate that Arduino-based training effectively enhances technological literacy and STEM skills among high school students. The study recommends integrating microcontroller platforms into physics curricula and fostering school-university partnerships for sustainable implementation through teacher training, equipment provision, and module development aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the need for the development of wave practicum guidelines in the Physics Education study program at the University of Bengkulu. This study uses a direct survey method, interview techniques, and the distribution of online form-based questionnaires to students, practicum assistants, laboratory assistants, and lecturers. Based on the data obtained and analyzed, the results show that the Physics Education study program has not carried out practicums in the laboratory directly for a long time after the post-covid era, and the existing practicum guidelines have not been updated since the last curriculum change, while laboratory equipment has been updated, and students find it difficult to receive material due to the lack of guidance for direct wave practicums both in groups and independently, this is because students only do wave practicums through Phet Simulation, resulting in a lack of direct experience with the laboratory, and also assembling tools. Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that the need for the development of wave practicum guidelines based on the STEM approach to meet the practical needs of students in higher education.
