Effectiveness of the EPI Electrical Media to Electrical Diagram Read Ability

Abstract

Training is a form of vocational education that is the choice of the younger generation. Training prepares graduates in order able work in the fields studied. EPI (Electronic Petroleum Injection) electrical media is a learning tool that helps students read EPI electrical diagrams. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the EPI electrical media on the ability to read electrical diagrams. This study applies a quasi-experimental non-equivalent pretest-post-test. The population are the automotive training participants at the Malang State University. The sample is 80 participants was divided into two groups, namely the experimental and control groups. Research data were collected using written tests, interviews, and observations. The written test data were tested for normality, homogeneity, and ANOVA test. The results revealed that there were differences in the ability to read electrical diagrams between the control class and the experimental class. Efficient electrical media to improve the ability to read electrical diagrams. EPI electrical media can be applied in automotive training.
