Pemberdayaan Guru Fisika SMA melalui Pelatihan dan Pendampingan Pengembangan Alat Peraga Berbasis Mikrokontroler Empowerment of High School Physics Teachers through Training and Assistance in the Development of Microcontroller-based Teaching Aids in Palangka Raya

Abstract

The challenges of Physics learning with abstract materials and the limited teaching aids make classroom instruction suboptimal, affecting students' interests and learning outcomes in Physics lessons. To help overcome this, this community service program is carried out to improve the competence of physics teachers in designing and using microcontroller-based learning media. The training consisted of three main sessions: the introduction to Arduino and ESP8266, the assembly of viscosity and temperature props, and the design of the practicum. The results of the training showed an increase in teachers' knowledge from an average of 1.67 to 4.01, with an N-Gain of 0.70, and in skills from 1.72 to 4.37, with an N-Gain of 0.81. The trainees responded positively with an average satisfaction score of 4.75 on a scale of 5. These results show that the training is considered relevant, useful, and well implemented. The next phase of service is assistance in the application of teaching aids in partner schools and practicum modules that can be used independently by teachers.
