Development of Study Bundles for A Laboratory Course on Capacitor Charge and Discharge Using Team-based Learning and Active Learning

Abstract

This research aims to develop an experimental kit for capacitor charge and discharge, to assess achievement test scores, to evaluate the study progress of students involved in this study.Study subjects (n=42) were grade 11th students of Science Classrooms in University-Affiliated School Project from PSU Wittayanusorn School. The instruments are experimental kit with manual instruction, teaching strategy using team-based learning and active learning method,                         and achievement test. Statistical analysis of achievement test scores was performed using the student's t-test with normalized gain <g>. The results found quality of the experimental kit is considered the time constant ​​from capacitors charge and discharge of 50, 100 and 200 F which percentage error less than 5%. The designed and developed experimental kit can be used effectively in teaching. Students who used the experimental kit with the team-based learning and active learning method. Post-test scores of the achievement test were significantly higher than pre-test scores (P<0.05), the statistical value after analysis using normalized gain revealed that the students showed an increasing level of study progress at a medium level <g>=0.30.
