Development of a Computer Game for Education on the Topic of Basic Electrical Measurements Usage

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to develop a computer game for education on the topic of basic electrical measurements usage, and 2) to evaluate the quality of computer games for educational focused on the basics of using electrical measurements. The quality evaluation of computer game educational media, a sample of 5 people who were experts in teaching media was selected as a purposive sample. There were four steps in the process of educational computer game development: preparation, design, production, and testing. The research tools included: 1) educational computer game on basic electrical measurements usage topic, 2) a questionnaire for evaluating the quality of teaching media in computer games for education. The statistical methods utilized were mean and standard deviation. The research findings indicated that the overall quality of the educational computer game on the topic of basic electrical measurement usage was at a high level ( = 3.87). It was categorized according to various aspects as follows: the content was at a high level ( = 4.24), followed by the graphics, images, and screen display, which was also at a high level ( = 4.12), the game design was at a high level      ( = 3.67), while the system design was at a moderate level ( = 3.44), in descending order.
