Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
The aim of this case study was to determine the correlation between pre-class task score
and academic performance in an intermediate optics course. The study was also aimed to identify the
correlation between pre-class task score and students’ expectation. Pre- class Reading Task for
Waves and Optics (PRT-WO) was developed to examine student knowledge acquisition in term
of pre-class task score. A group of 37 undergraduates taking intermediate optic course in
one of Malaysian higher education institutions were involved in this study. PRT-WO was uploaded in
series prior to the corresponding classes throughout the semester. Student’s academic performance
in the course was measured by the final examination. Maryland Physics Expectation (MPEX) was
distributed at the end of the semester to measure student’s expectation about physics
and physics learning during the PRT-WO instruction. A group of ten students from the sample was
selected to form a focus group to obtain more insight about their views on pre-class task. In
addition, a survey about student’s approach during the completion of the PRT-WO assignments
was administered at the end of the semester. Finding showed positive moderate correlation
