BIN AZMI, MUHAMMAD AFANDI SBL-AR effectiveness dataset: cognitive skills in vocational college electronics Mendeley Data De-identified data from a matched-pair cluster study of a simulation-based learning module delivered through mobile augmented reality (SBL-AR) in the first-semester course DEB1113 Introduction to Electronics of the Malaysian Vocational Diploma (Electronics Technology). Four Vocational Colleges in Peninsular Malaysia formed two pairs matched on students' entry grades; within each pair one college was randomly assigned to SBL-AR (n = 51) and the other continued with conventional instruction (n = 50). A 30-item, four-option test measured conceptual understanding, circuit analysis and diagnostic reasoning before instruction and four weeks after the intervention; data were collected in the second half of 2025. The dataset contains total and sub-scale scores, item-level responses, the pilot calibration responses with the Winsteps output, an SPSS output extract and two Python scripts that recompute the statistics reported in the associated article and print PASS or FAIL for each (78 and 125 checks). The study was approved by the Ministry of Education Malaysia (eRAS reference KPM.600-3/2/3-eras(24933)); all participants gave written informed consent. Version 2 adds reproduce_sensitivity_analyses.py and an updated README_data_dictionary.md; the verification reports included in version 1 are replaced by the two scripts. See README_data_dictionary.md for the codebook, file list and instructions.
