Circuit simulation, together with practical sessions, is considered a fundamental tool to assist in the teaching of electronics. Robotics offers rich real-world applications that foster student interest in developing engineering projects. Despite the potential benefits of uniting these two realities, software tools that combine circuits and…

The main objective of this study is to investigate the relationships between digital distraction, perceived learning, and general satisfaction in emergency remote teaching. Correlational design, one of the quantitative research methods, was used for the study. The study sample consists of 1532 university students in a Turkish university during…

This study investigates the impact of implementing guided experiments in basic electronics practicum simulation on student engagement and motivation, with particular attention to the role of self-regulation. While guided experiments have been extensively utilized in laboratory learning, prior research has predominantly concentrated on academic…

The abstract definition of electric power as "ability of a voltage source to do work" or quantitatively as "energy per unit charge" is preceded by a qualitative description in terms of the existence of surface charges. These surface charges and the associated electric fields can be demonstrated experimentally and allow a causal…

Encouraging student engagement is a key aim in any educational setting, and allowing students the freedom to pursue their own methods of solving problems through independent experimentation has been shown to markedly improve this. In many contexts, however, allowing students this flexibility in their learning is hampered by constraints of the…

Here we demonstrate an inexpensive and straightforward electronic circuit that can be used to generate data in the form of counts, with the same statistical properties as those found in gamma-ray counting experiments. The circuit holds an avalanche Zener diode just below its Zener voltage, which allows for thermal electrons to traverse the in the…

The study aimed to investigate the dynamics of e-textile-supported STEAM activities, specifically focusing on the design and development process of e-textile projects. A professional development (PD) program with seven hands-on and design-based activities was developed and implemented in two camps involving 20 and 19 in-service science teachers.…

Skills competency is important especially in vocational and technical education. Thus, the aim of this research was to develop the student conceptual knowledge and skills in electrical measuring device to equip the students the necessary skills to become competent and skilful Technologist/Technician. A mixed method data analysis was employed on…

Contribution: This study focuses on microcontroller circuits and aims to: 1) investigate the impact of formal reasoning on students' post-knowledge using catastrophe theory; 2) compare the different combination sequences of tangible user interface (TUI) and graphical user interface (GUI); and 3) assess the usability of both interfaces and explore…

Mathematics determines whether students' study and work in STEM disciplines such as electrical and electronics. However, there is insufficient data to support this claim. It is also premature to assert that the effect of motivation and instruction factors in mathematics on students' achievement in electricals and electronics is equivocal.…

This case study used individual interviews to investigate graduate students' sensemaking in upper-level electrostatics in the context of problems that can be efficiently solved for the electric potential using Laplace's equation. Although there are many technical mathematical issues involved in solving Laplace's equation, the focus of this…

Raspberry Pi Pico, based on chip RP2040, is an easy-to-use development microcontroller board that can provide flexible input/output functions and meets the teaching needs of basic electronics to first-year university undergraduates. This article presents our blended laboratory design using Raspberry Pi Pico for the course unit Digital Circuits and…

The experiment in charging and discharging of a capacitor through a resistor is fundamentally important for studying electronics. We have developed an alternative procedure to measure the voltage drops across capacitors as a function of time. The simple apparatus controlled by an Arduino Uno microcontroller board and LabVIEW™ interface was set up.…

The primary objective of this research was to investigate the effects of model-based science instruction on the conceptual development of 7th grade students in the topic of electricity. This qualitative research was conducted during the 2022-2023 academic year, using purposive sampling method. The study comprised 33 7th grade students (18 boys and…

An augmented reality (AR)-integrated gamification learning approach in an electronics course was developed in this study to help students better understand the concepts while simultaneously increasing their motivation. An experimental study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the AR-integrated gamification approach on students' learning…
