The development of an enzyme catalase kit for engineering students at technical-vocational schools
Daftar Isi:
- This study aims to develop an enzyme catalase kit (ECK) for engineering students at a technical-vocational school in Makassar. The goals of the ECK are: 1) to identify the sources of the enzyme catalase contained in the environment; 2) to test the effect of temperature of the activity of the enzyme catalase; and 3) to test the effect of pH on the activity of the enzyme catalase. The engineering students mostly focus their academic efforts on mechanical, electrical or computer engineering. However, some technical-vocational schools still require students to learn some basic natural sciences. An additional learning kit is necessary to deliver the natural sciences subjects to these engineering students. The development process of the ECK was done by using ADDIE models. This research was conducted in a technical-vocational school laboratory from March to August 2016. The researchers assigned two experts to rate the quality of the kit. The result indicated that the enzyme catalase kit was valid, practical and effective for the engineering students.
