Abstract
This research aimed to evaluate the quality of a fluid dynamics experimental kit developed by students, focusing on two primary aspects (1) validation and reliability of the experimental kit and (2) quality assessment by experts, teachers, and high school students. Data collection was conducted through ten repeated trials across five experimental setups, along with qualitative analysis from assessment forms. The findings indicate high validity and reliability of the kit, with results consistently aligning with theoretical principles. Additionally, experts, teachers, and students rated the kit’s quality as “very good” across four dimensions, physical characteristics, usability, maintenance and repair, and suitability for instructional purposes.
