Evaluating Computer Assisted Problem Based Learning Environment for Endocrine System in Human Beings in View of Professionals

Abstract

AbstractIn current study, Computer Assisted Problem Based Learning (CAPBL) environment for human endocrine system was designed considering 3C3R model (Hung, 2006) in high school biology by one of researchers. The aim of the study was to introduce a Computer Assisted Problem Based Learning (CAPBL) environment designed to 3C3R model and examine its instructional relevance in terms of professionals’ perceptions. For this purpose, CAPBL Relevance Questionnaire developed based on literature review by one of researchers were implemented to 14 professionals (including four high school biology teachers, two computer and educational instruction technology teachers and eight faculty members studying computer and educational instruction technology and biology education). In the study, problem scenarios in CAPBL environment were sufficient from the point of content acquisition as well as instructional eligibility. Professionals suggested that some revisions were required in navigation buttons of CAPBL environment to enhance its usefulness
