Integrating technology-mediated learning in biology education (histology): a systematic literature review

Zhong, Teoh Chern

Abstract

Leveraging technology is an integral component of any 21st century learning. Researchers and practitioners are still working on ways to improve the impact on student learning with the help of technology as learning tools. Therefore, this study was carried out to study the effects of integrating technology-mediated learning in biology education using systematic literature review (SLR). Finding from the analysis of selected literatures found that the integration of technology-mediated learning has a significant positive impact on students’ academic achievement and learning experience. Further research can be carried out by investigating the impact of technology-mediated collaborative learning on learning experience and academic achievement in histology. Several advantages and features of technology-mediated learning are identified through the classification of aspect in terms of learning methods, learning approaches and delivery methods...

Using HistoGuide Mobile Application (Virtual Microscopy): a qualitative pilot study on usability and sixth form students learning experience

Teoh, Chern Zhong

Abstract

HistoGuide application is a smartphone application system used by sixth form students as virtual microscopy and slides to solve the problems of incorrect drawing and labelling, inability to apply magnification and scale, and inability to observe details in microscopic practical works. However, as a newly developed application, there are still many who do not understand the usability of the HistoGuide application. In building a good application, one important part is good usability. Usability testing, especially in the HistoGuide application, can show users' ease and efficiency in using the system. The authors try to use qualitative usability testing through observation, document analysis and interviews with four participants as a pilot study before a real study. The analysis revealed the preference of the students for utilizing virtual microscopy as an educational tool in terms of usability, in the construct of usefulness, ease of use, ease of learning, satisfaction, effectiveness and .....

Development of sixth-form HistoGuide application and its impact towards drawing skill, labelling skill and motivation

Teoh, Chern Zhong

Abstract

This research aims to develop a sixth-form HistoGuide application and study its impact on students’ drawing skills, labelling skills and motivation. The HistoGuide is developed based on the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) Model, and to identify its impact, quasi-experimental research was employed. Two sets of instruments were utilised to measure the usability and motivation. A total of 194 sixth-form students were selected as respondents through the simple random sampling technique. The Content Validity Index (CVI) from 15 experts showed that the Itemlevel CVI (I-CVI) is high and the overall validity is excellent, with Scale-level CVI/Universal Agreement (S-CVI/UA) at 0.80 and Scale-level CVI/Average (SCVI/ Ave) at 0.96, respectively. Findings showed a high overall usability level (Mean (M) = 4.41; Standard Deviation (SD) = 0.39) with usefulness (M = 4.40; SD = 0.38), ease of use (M = 4.36; SD = 0.41), ease of learning (M = 4.45; SD = 0.45), and .....

Teoh, Siew Khim

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the musical environment and the developmental music aptitude scores of Chinese children in Penang, Malaysian kindergartens. The second aspect of the study investigated whether parents' attitudes toward music, socio-economic status, and children's age have an impact on the music aptitude scores.Measures used to determine children's musical environment included the researcher-designed Home Musical Environment Questionnaire and Kindergarten Musical Experiences Questionnaire. Gordon’s Primary Measurement of Music Audiation (PMMA) was used to evaluate the children’s tonal and rhythmic music aptitudes. The sample comprised 238 Chinese children, aged four to six, enrolled in private kindergartens in Penang, Malaysia. A quantitative method was used in this study.The Pearson correlation coefficient revealed that the home musical environment had a weak but significant relationship with the tonal subtest (r = .192, p < .01), rh.....

Rat dissection alternatives in Biology education: a systematic literature review

Teoh, Chern Zhong

Abstract

Despite the importance of both rat dissection and alternatives for rat dissection, proponents for these alternatives became more apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemically. Incorporating humane education into the Malaysian education system, whereby 3R (reduction, replacement, or refinement) is urged, aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Utilising technology is an essential component of any 21st-century learning. Therefore, this study was carried out to explore the need for alternatives in rat dissection that provide both a high learning experience and feasibility using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) technique is employed. Examining selected literature revealed a substantial positive effect on the student's learning experience regarding perception, task performance, exam performance, and motivation. It is found to be either superior or equivalent to the i.....
