Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun
The research project aims to develop an e-learning tool named 'CellSplit Insight' with strong validity and assess its usability for teaching cell division in Form 4 Biology. Using a quantitative approach, the tool was developed following the ADDIE model, and its usability was assessed using the USE questionnaire adapted from Lund (2001). The study employed simple random sampling to select 37 students for the pilot test and 77 students for the field test across schools in Malacca. Expert validity, pilot testing, and field testing were conducted to evaluate the tool's validity, reliability, and usability. Data analysis methods included the Content Validity Index (CVI) for expert validity, Cronbach's Alpha for pilot testing, and descriptive analysis (mean and standard deviation) for field testing. Results indicated high validity with a CVI value of 1.0. Usability scores were also favourable across all constructs: usefulness (mean: 3.7857, sd: 0.37547), ease of learning (mean: 3.7857, sd: 0.32987), ease of use (mean: 3.7890, sd: 0.38274), and satisfaction (mean: 3.8182, sd: 0.31580), resulting in an overall high usability rating (mean: 3.7946, sd: 0.2912). The development of the CellSplit Insight elearning tool has positive implications for both students and teachers. It enhances student learning by improving comprehension particularly in complex topics like cell division. It supports a pedagogical shift towards more student-centred learning and facilitating a blended learning environment. Additionally, the findings also emphasize the importance of integrating advanced technologies into education, highlighting that similar tools could be beneficial for teaching other complex topics within the Form 4 Biology syllabus. Recommendations for future works include adding language options, integrating advanced technologies like AR and VR for a richer experience, expanding content coverage, and replicating the study in other regions for broader insights
