Building an IoT-Based Oyster Mushroom Cultivation and Control System and Its Practical Learning Effects on Students

“…The results of the sensor system accuracy test in this study not only show the performance of the sensors used in this study but also show the superiority of this research which was not carried out by all previous related studies, including research by Chang [45], Royse [32], Feeney et al [39], Sultana et al [46], Lu et al [47], Ediyani et al [15], Nongthombam et al [44], Raman et al [36] Zawadzka et al [40], Okuda [14], Törős et al [49], El-Ramady et al [37], Nadzirah et al [50] and Melanouri et al [34].…”

“…Besides, this previous research is not a prototype model for learning media and practices for students in building IoT and learning media for mushroom cultivation, as this article does. Likewise with previous studies, including the research conducted by [45], [32], [39], [46], [47], [15], [44], [36], [40], Okuda [14], [33], [37], [50], and [34] had the limitation of not testing the accuracy of the sensor system used, while this research completes the accuracy test of the sensors used. In short, the articles in this study are novel and unique compared to other articles.…”

“…Nadzirah et al [50] conducted training on oyster mushroom cultivation for students. This study provides training on the prospects for oyster mushroom cultivation.…”
