Development of an IoT-Based Practical Training Kit Using Arduino Uno R4 WiFi to Enhance Microcontroller and IoT Practical Skills for Higher Vocational Certificate Students
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This study aimed to develop and evaluate an IoT-based practical training kit using the Arduino Uno R4 WiFi to enhance microcontroller and IoT skills for higher vocational certificate students. The participants were 25 students enrolled in electronics-related courses during the 1/2024 academic year, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included laboratory worksheets, an achievement test, a practical skills assessment rubric, and a student satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, efficiency values (E1/E2), and t-tests. The results showed that the developed training kit had high quality, with an expert evaluation mean score of 4.62 (SD. = 0.56). The efficiency values were 76.91/76.80, which exceeded the standard criterion of 75/75. Students’ learning achievement significantly improved after using the training kit, with posttest scores higher than pretest scores at the.05 level (t = 21.46, p <.05). In addition, students’ practical skills in microcontroller and IoT applications were significantly higher than the 75% criterion (M = 76.91, SD. = 7.90; t(24) = 13.08, p <.05). Student satisfaction was also at the highest level (M = 4.56, SD. = 0.66). Thus, the developed IoT-based training kit is an effective learning tool that improves students’ achievement, practical skills, and satisfaction. It is suitable for use in vocational education and supports hands-on and technology-based learning.
