The PBL results showed that the kit is simple and to give better illustrations for students to comprehend the process control system in the realistic application in industry. The economic analysis result showed that the present kit is inexpensive and portable, compared to other commercially available kits/devices. To examine the impact of the designed kit on the improvement of teaching and learning process, the problem based learning (PBL) approach was also conducted in class. To approach the industrial tank system in industry, the tank was designed to be mixed and connected to other tank, and the temperature and water volumetric (water level) was controllable. To be adaptable in any types of classroom, the kit was placed on the portable table (length x width x height of 100 x 50 x 150 cm). The kit consists of the water tank filling system (sizes of 50 mL as a model for describing reallistic tank in the plant) equipped with a programmable logic controller (PLC) integrated with SCADA system, human machine interface (HMI) monitor, reservoir, temperature, water level sensors, mixer, and heater. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a new design of low-cost and portable laboratory kit that is prospective for supporting teaching and learning on the automation process. In addition, we show an improved version of the AFM that provides a deeper understanding about the students’ learning process.
Our goal in this paper is to show how the coefficients of AFM provide valuable information to the teacher without requiring any deep expertise in data analysis.
This can be a burden for the teacher who, in most cases, is not an expert in data analysis. However, it has been usually employed to carry out analysis about students’ performance data outside the system.
That is a well-known technique in the educational data mining research area.
This analysis is done by means of an Additive Factor Model (AFM). To provide support to teachers, IDEE includes a dashboard that provides them with information about the students’ learning process. To overcome these limitations, in this paper we present IDEE (Integrated Didactic Educational Environment), an educational environment for physics, that uses EV3 LEGO Mindstorms® educational kit as robotic component. However, the educational environments that employ them rarely provide teachers with relevant information that can be used to make an effective monitoring of the student learning progress. Educational robotics has proven its positive impact on the performances and attitudes of students.
