Evaluation on the Usability of Physics Module in a Secondary School in Malaysia: Students' Retrospective.

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to implement and evaluate the Physics module based on technology and learning style using students ’ retrospective evaluation. Physics has always been thought of as the most difficult subject as it involves abstract concepts. Research has shown that technology has the potential to increase understanding of abstract concepts. Previous research shows that matching learning style strategy with certain technology will be able to increase students learning experience. ICT which has potential to display learning experience in variety of format is seen as one way to fulfill diversity of learning styles. This study is based on the Felder Silverman Model (1988) which comprises four dimensions (visual/verbal, active/reflective, sequential/global, sensing/intuitive). The design and development of the Physics modules comprising technology tools, teaching technique, activities and advance exercise comes from the modified Delphi technique. The researchers employed 14 Physics students to test the Physics module which comprises two lessons on `gas
