Abstract

This research aims to develop a microcontroller training kit to increase students' learning motivation in microcontroller education practices. The research follows a modified ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Coding, Testing and Validation, Implementation, and Evaluation) involving two experts in the field of educational media, microcontrollers, and 33 vocational education students. The validity test results show that this training device is well suited for curriculum integration, with high scores in technical features, durability, reliability, safety, and design. The average validity score was 0.83. In addition, the motivation assessment showed a significant increase in students' interest, active participation, persistence, learning satisfaction, engagement, and self-confidence. Thus, the development of the microcontroller training kit was proven to be effective in increasing students' motivation to learn. These findings suggest that such innovative and accessible tools can significantly increase engagement and participation in research and contribute to the advancement of educational technology by providing practical solutions that improve students' learning experience and motivation in technical disciplines. © 2025, Dr D.
