Abstract

The research objective were to develop the QSDC learning model to improve the rational thinking competency of pre-service teachers for electrical engineering education. Theoretical research has revealed a gap in teaching methods as rational thinking relates to teachers’ competency. The development of the QSDC learning model based on rational thinking competencies using various teaching activities was provided inside the MIAP learning processes. This research has pointed to teacher training, integrating between active learning model and rational thinking through the development of the QSDC instructional package. Thus, the conclusion of this study was a presentation of the QSDC learning model with the rubric evaluation rational. The performance of the developed learning model was 72.13%, and the overall evaluation of rational thinking was 70.58%. This means the students gain higher competency and their achievement performance was satisfactory. Therefore, the development of teaching and learning process can be applied effectively in the teaching of electrical engineering education.
