Abstract

The purpose of this study is to design a set of learning modules for developing the knowledge and skills of 34 students. The set includes 3 modules: Module 1: Monitoring; Module 2: Circuit Design; and Module 3: Transformer Development. The Four-D model is employed, and the study results are divided into 2 parts: 1. an evaluation of the effectiveness of the learning modules and 2. a comparison of preand post-test learning achievements after application of the learning modules. The modules are assessed based on standard criteria: the 80/80 rule, a t-test, and the results reveal that the post-test scores are higher than the pre-test scores, indicating that students taught using the model achieved better learning outcomes with a statistical significance of 0.05. In conclusion, the proposed modules allow students to develop knowledge of basic electrical and electronic circuits and develop skills in this discipline. © 2020 Eskisehir Osmangazi University.
