Student Difficulties and Alternative Solutions in the Embedded System (ES) Subject

The goal of this research was to identify the issues that students have in the Embedded System (ES) course, as well as possible remedies. This study was carried out during the 2019/2020 academic year at Ujung Pandang State Polytechnic. A random sample of 23 students was chosen. A questionnaire was used to collect information. The findings revealed that: media used, mastery of the content, method used, literature or teaching materials used, and how to deliver are some of the factors of student learning difficulties in ES courses. The usage of media is a major element creating student learning difficulties in ES courses, according to some of the considerations. As a result, one suggested alternative is to use the Internet of Things. The use of IoT in ES course learning can reduce student learning difficulties.
