Abstract

Multimedia [MM] materials and equipment are instructional materials which teachers and trainers use as alternativemeans of communication to transmit curriculum content to the learner. MM combines two or more different types of instructionalmaterials at the same time in a presentation. They have synchronization potentials and can be effectively used to facilitateteaching and learning process, arouse learners’ interest, support and reinforce students learning, influence better academicperformance in learners, aid mastery learning, among other things. This paper presents the results of research studies carriedout to determine the effect of synchronized MM use on motivation and academic performance of students in Biology. Pearsonproduct correlational analysis indicated lack of correlation between use of synchronize MM and students’ motivation while t-testindicates significant difference between biology students who were taught with synchronized MM (mean score, 51) and thecontrol group (mean score, 23). The control group who were taught the same Biology devoid of synchronized MM packageperformed poorly. We recommend that there is need for government to provide multimedia in secondary school and the biologyteachers to make transition to use modern MM devices and adopt different approaches for biology instruction and laboratoryactivities rather than the traditional or conventional talk-chalk method.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to develop Wokwi simulation-based teaching materials using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) to improve the understanding and science process skills of physics education students. Methodology: The Define stage identifies learning needs, while the Design stage designs interactive and easy-to-use teaching materials. In the Develop stage, the prototype is tested to assess the effectiveness of the simulation, resulting in a significant increase in students' understanding of basic concepts. This study involved 50 5th semester students at Jambi University, using questionnaires and observation sheets as instruments. Main Findings: The results of the analysis showed that the majority of students had science process skills in the "Good" category (44%) with an average score of 78.4, while the response to the use of Wokwi was mostly in the "Quite Good" category (40%) with an average score of 65.3. The correlation test revealed a significant positive relationship (r = 0.532; p = 0.001) between the use of Wokwi and science process skills. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research is presenting innovation in electronics learning through the integration of Wokwi technology, which allows interactive and practical circuit simulation for students without the need for physical hardware. This study offers a new perspective in the development of technology-based digital learning media by utilizing Wokwi, which is designed to improve students' conceptual understanding and technical skills in electronics.
