Teacher Perspectives on the Use of Arduino UNO Technology in SENSE Book for Special Needs Students
Abstract
The advancement of technology has enabled us to utilize it to the fullest extent in learning English, especially in vocabulary acquisition. The impact of technology-based media on learning outcomes is widely recognized. One such platform is Arduino UNO, an open-source hardware prototype that allows for the development of various programming-based projects. It offers a combination of visual, textual, and auditory elements, making it a versatile tool in educational settings. This research aimed to explore teachers' opinions on innovating instructional media that apply Arduino UNO. SENSE Book is a vocabulary learning book equipped with a button board, allowing students to enhance their sensory and motor skills. This research adopted a descriptive qualitative approach, with a sample of a practical instructor at special schools (SLBN 2 and SLBN 3) in Bengkulu City, and observes two students. Observation, interviews, and documentation serve as instruments. The data analysis technique involves data reduction, data display, and conclusion/verification. The research results indicate that teachers have a positive perspective on creating innovative Arduino-based media for teaching vocabulary to special needs students. The research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through observation and interviews. A systematic process was followed, including searching and organizing interview transcripts, field notes, and expert validations, along with other supporting materials. Data triangulation was applied to ensure the credibility of the findings. The results prove that students have difficulty remembering the pronunciation of unfamiliar words and mastering the meanings. Moreover, results demonstrate that this form is suitable for tech-based media in improving vocabulary and is generally claimed to be a valuable resource. This sound-enabled book can enhance students' vocabulary.
