Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh hasil observasi
di SMKN 1 Blitar bahwa trainer yang
tersedia di Jurusan Teknik Elektronika Industri kurang memadai untuk mata
pelajaran Mikroprosesor dan Mikrokontroler. Hal ini membuat siswa kurang
memiliki motivasi dalam belajar sehingga siswa kurang memahami dan menguasai
materi yang disampaikan oleh guru. Hal tersebut dibuktikan bahwa hasil belajar
siswa masih kurang baik dan beberapa siswa belum mencapai KKM. Penelitian ini
bertujuan untuk menghasilkan Trainer
Weather Station yang layak digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran pada mata
pelajaran Mikroprosesor dan Mikrokontroler dengan aspek kevalidan, kepraktisan
dan keefektifan pembelajaran. Metode penelitian menggunakan Research and Development (R&D) yang
memiliki 9 tahapan yaitu: (1) potensi dan masalah, (2) pengumpulan data, (3)
desain dan produk, (4) validasi produk, (5) revisi produk 1, (6) uji coba
produk, (7) revisi produk 2, (8) uji coba pemakaian terbatas, dan (9) analisis
dan pelaporan. Pengambilan data untuk validasi dilakukan pada validator,
sedangkan pengambilan data angket respons dan hasil belajar siswa. Berdasarkan
hasil penelitian, diperoleh (1) hasil validasi diperoleh rating validasi trainer sebesar 83,08% dengan kategori
sangat valid dan rating validasi jobsheet
sebesar 75,89% dengan kategori valid. (2) hasil respons siswa mendapat hasil
rating sebesar 79,21% dengan kategori praktis. (3) Hasil belajar siswa terjadi
perbedaan rata-rata yang signifikan setelah menggunakan trainer . Berdasarkan hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa Trainer Weather Station dengan Sistem Wireless Sensor Network layak digunakan
sebagai media pembelajaran pada mata pelajaran Mikroprosesor dan Mikrokontroler
di SMK Negeri 1 Blitar.
This research is started by the results of
observations at SMKN 1 Blitar that trainers available in the Industrial
Electronics Engineering Department are still inadequate for subject of Microprocessor
and Microcontroller.. This makes students have less motivation in learning so
students do not understand and master the material delivered by the teacher. It
is proven that student learning outcomes are still not good and some students
have not yet reached KKM. The aim of this study is producing Trainer Weather
Station with learning media which proper to use as a learning media on the
subjects of Microprocessors and Microcontrollers with validity aspects,
practicality and effectiveness of learning. The research method uses Research
and Development (R & D) which has 9 stages, they are : (1) problem and
potential, (2) collecting data, (3) desaign and product, (4) product
validation, (5) product 1 revision, (6) trial test product, (7) product
revision, (8) limited trial test usage, and (9) analysis and reporting.
Validation data is taken from the validator, meanwhile data for questionnaire
response and result of study. Based on result of the study, it could be
summarized that (1) validation trainer rating as much as 80,3% is obtained by
the result of validation with a very valid category, and jobsheet validation rating as much as
75,89% with a valid category. (2) the result of student’s response get a rating
musch as 79,21% which is categorized as practical. (3) result study of the
students have significant average difference after using the trainer. Based on
the result, it could be sumarized that Trainer Weather Station with Wireless
Sensor Network system is a proper to use as media for microprossesor and
microcontroller subject in SMK Negeri 1 Blitar.
