Development and Validation of Instructional Material in Electricity and Magnetism for Technology Course

This study developed and validated simulation-based instructional materials in Electricity and Magnetism for Electronics Technology, using Multisim software. Guided by the ADDIE instructional design model, a 24-module workbook was created to address challenges in traditional teaching—limited lab access, abstract concepts, and lack of interactivity. Validation through expert review and pilot testing confirmed the material’s accuracy, usability, and alignment with course outcomes. Students using the workbook showed a 27.8% improvement in post-test scores, compared to 12.2% in the control group. They also completed activities up to 50% faster. Satisfaction ratings from both students and instructors ranged from 4.6 to 4.8 out of 5, reflecting the material’s clarity and effectiveness. The results demonstrate that interactive, simulation-based learning enhances engagement, understanding, and skills development. Recommendations include expanding real-world applications, providing instructor training, and enhancing Multisim integration. The study affirms the value of technology-enhanced instruction in bridging theory and practice in technical education.
