Improving Learning Outcomes on the Subject of Planning and Antenna Installation of Transceiver Systems at Vocational High School

摘要

This research aims at evaluating the effect of the use of Antenna simulator software on the subject of Planning and Antenna Installation of Transceiver systems. A quasi experimental, non-equivalent control group design was utilized. The subjects in this study were students of 2 classes of XII-Elkom (first one is an experiment using CST Microwave Studio and another one is control class using Power Point slides) at vocational high School 1 Cimahi, Bandung, West Java. The results showed that a significant increase in learning outcomes for the experimental class, that is 79.43 or N-Gain 72% and found differences in both classes. As innovative and low-cost media, the use of our media may significantly improve student learning outcomes in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains on subject we focused.
