This study evaluated the use of an Electronic Prototype Display as an instructional tool for teaching fundamental concepts of electricity. The prototype was designed to provide students with a visual and interactive representation of selected electrical concepts, allowing them to observe how electrical components and circuits function beyond traditional classroom discussions. Specifically, the study examined the prototype in terms of functionality, usability, effectiveness, and its potential to support students’ understanding of electricity.
