Kesan interaksi media pengajaran, kaedah belajar, dan tahap pencapaian pelajar terhadap tahap kefahaman konsep gerakan melalui tugasan POE

In The Third International Mathematics and Science Study that is produced in every four years time, it is reported that Malaysians students are less capable to understand the concepts of Physics. Thus, this study aimed to identify the effects of a multimedia program on the level of understanding of the concept of motion for Physics in secondary schools involving 240 students in twelve groups.The 2 X 2 X 3 factorial study involved three independent variables: instructional media (computer simulation and reading), study method (individual and pair) and students’ ability levels (high, medium and low), and one dependent variable (comprehension level in Physics). Findings showed that the main effect of instructional media (computer simulation and reading) and students’ ability levels (high, medium and low) were significant. Instructional had different effect on the comprehension level in Physics. Students sat for a post-test in Physics comprehension in this study. Findings also showed that students perceived positively towards the use of slow motion and replay features in the video clip when performing the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) task. The findings from the student survey also found that discussion during the POE tasks helped them to better understand the concept of motion in Physics. Based on the findings of the study, computer-assisted instructional media should be given emphasis in science education, particularly for students with low ability level but not for high ability students. The combination of POE tasks and computer-assisted instructional media is an effective method in Science education
