Arasinah Kamis

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Multimedia Interactive Making Clothing (MIMP) module. It is developed for the teachers to learn and facilitate (LFc) the teaching of topics on the subjects of Home Science (HS) in the Malaysian schools. The design of the study is quantitative and the survey method is used to collect data. The MIMP module has been certified by eight experts in the relevant fields of HS Education, ICT and Malay Language. A total of 37 HS students from Miri Sarawak Division were selected to test the reliability of the module activity by evaluating the effectiveness of LFc in each teaching session. The findings show that the module has a good validity of 82.5% and high reliability with an Alpha Cronbach value of .92. However, some aspects need to be improved so that the developed module can meet the objectives for which it has been designed. The findings of the study would be useful to other researchers who intend to develop other teaching modules based on the ASSURE Model. In conclusion, the researcher hopes that this module will help the students in learning and teachers in facilitating the teaching of the topic of making clothes.
