Development of Instruction Model by FATAC Model on Electromagnetic Field and Wave for Electrical Engineering Program

Abstract:

This research aims to develop instruction model using cognitive learning theories on electromagnetic field and wave for undergraduate of electrical engineering program. The new instruction model called FATAC model was developed. It consists of 5 steps as; 1) Find 2) Adjust 3) Teach 4) Actions and 5) Conclusion. The content of dissertation has 3 Units; 1) Maxwell equations and electromagnetic wave are direct variation with time 2) Microwave planar and 3) Poynting vector and wave propagation. Thirty students of level 3 in technical education, rajamangala university of technology isan, khonkaen campus were a sampling group. Tools of dissertation included lesson plans, learning media as powerpoint presentation, electromagnetic wave propagation simulation program, wave propagation demonstration set, and filed strength meter. The research results consisted of; 1) The opinion on the FATAC model was high level (=4.21,S.D.=0.48). 2) The learning effectiveness of the instructional model was 76.15/76.73 (higher than 75/75 of the hypothesis). 3) The quality of instruction package by experts was high level (=4.27 ,S.D=0.62) and 4) The mean of satisfaction of the sampling group was high level (=4.23 ,S.D=0.57). Therefore, in conclusion, instruction model using cognitive learning theories on electromagnetic wave and propagation for undergraduate of electrical engineering program can be applied for electromagnetic theory subject and high efficiency.
