AbstractAugmented reality (AR) is a unique, hands-on tool to deliver information. However, its educational value has been mainly demonstrated empirically so far. In this paper, we present a modeling approach to provide users with mastery of a skill, using AR learning content to implement an educational curriculum. We illustrate the potential of this approach by applying this to an important but pervasively misunderstood area of STEM learning, electrical circuitry. Unlike previous cognitive assessment models, we break down the area into microskills—the smallest segmentation of this knowledge—and concrete learning outcomes for each. This model empowers the user to perform a variety of tasks that are conducive to the acquisition of the skill. We also provide a classification of microskills and how to design them in an AR environment. Our results demonstrated that aligning the AR technology to specific learning objectives paves the way for high quality assessment, teaching, and learning.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of visualization-based inquiry learning methods on student learning outcomes in electrolyte and non-electrolyte solution material. This research was conducted in Kawangkoan 1 Public High School, in the even semester X IPA students, 2018/2019 academic year. Class X IPA students 1 (n = 31) as the experimental class and class X IPA 2 (n = 32) as the control class. The test used in this study statistical t test with significance level α = 0.05 with the testing criteriat> ttable then H0 is rejected and H1 accepted. The results obtained in this test obtained tcount 5.25> ttable 1.670. This test is done not to improve student learning outcomes beyond the minimum standard of completeness criteria in school but this testing is only to see the effect of visualization based inquiry learning methods on student learning outcomes. Based on the results obtained it can be concluded that there are differences in student learning outcomes applied with conventional learning models (control class) and visualization based inquiry learning methods (experimental class)

In an education, learning is supported by various methods, media, and learning models to improve the quality of learning. In this article, the author only focuses on one example of the method used to assist the teaching and learning process. The method is a way whose function is as a tool to achieve a goal. The better the method, the more effective the attainment of the goal. This writing aims to describe the inquiry method regarding the strengths and weaknesses in the process of learning folk poetry and the reconstruction of the inquiry method in the process of learning folk poetry. This writing is a non-research scientific article, where only the author's ideas are expressed. Compiled from several theories such as learning folk poetry, learning methods, learning methods in the 2013 curriculum, and related to inquiry learning methods. The results of this paper are found the weaknesses and strengths of the inquiry method in learning poetry and the weaknesses are reconstructed to make it better or more effective.

Over the past decade, more women have become interested in renewable energy, particularly photovoltaics, but a suitable training environment is difficult to find. Approximately five years ago, Solar Energy International (SEI) started offering classes for women only. The premise is that a women only class provides a friendly atmosphere for women to ask basic questions, take time working with tools and concepts, and practice hands-on activities in a supportive environment. Sandia National Labs has assisted SEI by providing technical content and hands-on instruction. The classes are split between the classroom and the field. This paper will provide an overview of the technical training, safety and the importance of the National Electrical Code® (NEC)®, and accomplishments of the students beyond these classes.

It is becoming increasingly important to include information about power generation from renewable energy sources in the training of electrical engineers. Solar energy is arguably the most common renewable energy source in use today. Providing practical hands-on training on solar energy power generation today requires the use of photovoltaic panel devices which are used for transforming solar energy into electrical energy. In many developing countries, practical hands-on training on solar power generation is limited due to the cost of photovoltaic panel devices and so the training consists of theoretical and tutorial classes sometimes supported by remote and virtual laboratories. This paper presents an augmented virtuality tool where real-time information from a mobile device’s sensors is used directly within a virtual or computer generated environment. The tool provides a practical context for hands-on tutorial exercises on solar energy power generation.
