Abstract

Project based learning (PBL) has long been used especially in developing countries. Various results of PBL-related studies have also been found to be effective and have a positive impact on students. However, although it has been introduced in Malaysia, it is still considered foreign to students and teachers. Therefore, this study was conducted to look at the effectiveness of applying the PBL method in the topic of project design on form two students' learning process. An experimental study with mixed method approach was conducted through pre and post-tests on one control and one treatment group. A total of 60 form two students were involved, of which 30 were treatment students and another 30 were control students. Five students from the treatment group were randomly selected to go through a semi structured interview process. This interview was conducted to confirm the results of the quantitative study. The results of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that students in the PBL group performed significantly better in project design learning process than those in the contrast group. Therefore, this study demonstrated that the PBL method had a positive impact on students' learning process. Based on the interviews, all respondents agreed that PBL was an excellent approach because the learning activities were interesting and different from the normal learning environment. In addition, the interview results also showed that the respondents suggested that the PBL method should be continued and implemented in other topics and subjects.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the use of the translated version of constructivism multimedia instrument through validity and reliability tests. The instrument contained five constructs of which each construct contained five items which made 25 items in total. The translation process has been implemented through the back-translation by researchers and expert translators. The validation process was performed by nine panel experts who are lecturers in the field of Language and curriculum. The results of validity analysis through intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) found that the reliability value between evaluators was .957 based on 95% confidence interval between .904 to .989 (F (8,192)=23.469, p<.05). Meanwhile, the process of obtaining the reliability value was conducted on 70 students and obtained a high overall reliability value of the instrument which was .853. In addition, the reliability values for each construct of the multimedia constructivism learning instrument were .753 (negotiation), .780 (inquiry learning), .691 (reflective thinking), .683 (authenticity) and .803 (complexity). Overall, the high values of validity and reliability of the instrument proved that this translation study has been successfully implemented.

Abstract

Kajian ini bertujuan menghasilkan rancangan pengajaran harian (RPH) bagi mata pelajaran Kemahiran Hidup Bersepadu tingkatan dua bagi topik reka bentuk projek yang mengandungi prinsip pembelajaran berasaskan projek berdasarkan penilaian pakar. Isi kandungan dan aktiviti pembelajaran RPH yang diubahsuai berdasarkan tiga sumber iaitu huraian sukatan pelajaran KHB tingkatan dua (Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia, 2002), rubrik pembinaan RPH yang diadaptasi daripada Stevens dan Levi (2013) dan lapan prinsip pembelajaran berasaskan projek (PBL) yang diasaskan oleh pengkaji Larmer dan Mergendoller (2010). Sebanyak lima sesi rancangan pengajaran harian telah dibina dengan menerapkan lapan prinsip PBL. Proses penilaian pakar oleh pensyarah dari bidang teknik dan vokasional dan kurikulum pendidikan dari tiga universiti berbeza telah dilaksanakan. Penilaian pakar adalah berdasarkan kepada rubrik pembinaan RPH yang mengandungi tujuh konstruk untuk dinilai berdasarkan empat tahap (1=lemah, 2=perlu penambahbaikan, 3=memuaskan dan 4=cemerlang). Analisis skor dari empat pakar penilai isi menghasilkan nilai keesahan 3.21 (RPH 1), 3.25 (RPH 2), 3.29 (RPH 3), 3.29 (RPH 4), dan 3.54 (RPH 5). Pengubahsuaian dan pemurniaan RPH telah dilakukan berdasarkan komen dan cadangan dari pakar penilai bagi menghasilkan RPH terbaik dan sesuai untuk digunakan oleh guru-guru Kemahiran Hidup Bersepadu bagi topik reka bentuk projek.
