Development of a Piling Load Test Teaching Kit as a Teaching Aid for Construction Technology Program

Abstract

The teaching kit of piling load testing is one of the types of tools helping to teach in the teaching and learning process. This study was conducted to identify the need of this teaching kit among lecturers and students in construction technology.  Interviews with lecturers in vocational colleges are preliminary studies conducted to identify needs. By identifying the needs of this teaching kit, studies will be conducted with the design of this model until completion. The process of testing the teaching kits is also conducted in this study. This study uses a quantitative design. Data collected by questionnaires and expert assessment forms with high validity and reliability have played an important role in this study. As a result of the distribution of the questionnaires, data collected will be analyzed using the frequency distribution method and percentage to obtain descriptive information. The ADDIE Model is used in designing a kit for teaching this piling load test. Five stages of the model development process, namely, analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. By following the listed stages, the teaching kit for piling loads was designed and developed function as a tool to help teach the construction technology program at the Vocational College.
