The effectiveness of biology PTechLS module in a rural secondary school in Malaysia

The PTechLS module combines learning styles with the use of technology to increase students’ learning experience, especially in learning abstract concepts. The PTechLS module prototype was developed by Alias (2010). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the Biology PTechLS module in a rural secondary school in Malaysia.

The study adopted the exploratory implementation design which incorporates a quasi-experimental research design. 37 students agreed to participate in this study. In addition, a retrospective usability evaluation of the the implementation of thePTechLS module, with two Biology teachers as the users was conducted. The findings of this study showed that there were significant difference in the pre-test and post-test scores. This indicates that students’ achievement score could improve after using the Biology PTechLS module. The interview with the teachers showed that the Biology PTechLS module could be used as a resource. In addition, further improvements of the PTechLS module were suggested.
