| Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
| The present study aimed to develop and evaluate a simple and green electrochemistry experimental
kit named Lectrofun 2.0. Lectrofun 2.0 consist of educational kits and module which was built
using green chemicals, recyclable materials and easily accessible materials. It overview the basic
concepts of electrochemistry and electrolysis in the guided learning approach. Objectives of this
research are to (1) develop Lectrofun 2.0 module using green chemicals, recyclable materials and
easily accessible materials, (2) evaluate the effectiveness of the module in terms of students'
understanding of the topic of Electrochemistry and (3) investigate students’ perceptions on
Lectrofun 2.0 module. Instructional design model used was based on the Design and Development
Research, DDR. The development phase involved the objective of the study (1) while the
evaluation phase involved the objective of the study (2) - (3). The research instrument applied
content validity assessment form to evaluate the validity of the Lectrofun 2.0 module and pre-post
test. The perception questionnaire was used to study the students’ perception of Lectrofun 2.0 in
terms of module’s content, format and illustration. Pre-post test was used to evaluate the
effectiveness of the module in terms of students' understanding of the topic of Electrochemistry.
The findings showed that the content validity index for the Lectrofun 2.0 module and pre-post test
were 0.93 and 0.94 respectively. 73.9% students for treatment group showed 4 grades increament
(grade E to grade A) after done post-test. Mean construct of content was 3.24 (SD = 0.19),
followed by format was 3.61 (SD = 0.18) and illustration was 3.68 (SD = 0.09). The result of this
study showed that Lectrofun 2.0 has a significant impact to enhance learners’ comprehension
towards topic Electrochemistry and students enjoy learning with this guided experimental kit. |
