Development of P-PIADA Teaching Model based on STEAM Education on Communication Network Analysis

Abstract

This paper aims to develop of the instructional package using the P-PIADA teaching model. First, issues and environment in the teaching of telecommunication engineering were surveyed and studied. Next, the P-PIADA teaching model based on STEAM education was developed. The P-PIADA teaching model consists of six processes including 1) Preparation; P), 2) Pre-learning; P, 3) Informing; I, 4) Activity; A, 5) Discussion; D and 6) Assessment; A). Then, the instructional package consisting of teacher's manual, PowerPoint presentation, simulation tool, teaching aids and an achievement test, was constructed for applying in the teaching of communication network analysis subject. Finally, the quality of the developed P-PIADA teaching model was evaluated by ten experts and implemented by a sampling group of 25 bachelor's students. The results shown that the efficiency of the developed P-PIADA teaching model is equal to 78.20 percentage and students' appropriation was at high level (mean=4.16, S.D. = 0.14).
