PERKEMBANGAN PENGGUNAAN AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) DALAM PENDIDIKAN KIMIA

2024-02-15T13:10:31+08:00

This study presents a review of research on the use of augmented reality (AR) in Chemistry education. AR has emerged as a valuable pedagogical method that enhances the understanding of complex concepts across various educational levels. The findings of this study highlight the active utilization of AR technology in chemistry education and its proven effectiveness. Typically, AR technology is employed for the 3D visualization of atomic or molecular structures in the field of chemistry. However, there is a lack of AR software or applications specifically tailored for Chemistry education in Malaysia. There is a pressing need for easily accessible AR applications that can be developed without requiring advanced programming skills, to support chemical education in schools and higher education institutions. The exploration of AR technology holds undeniable value in Chemistry teaching and learning, as it has the potential to revolutionize chemistry education by promoting active learning, enhancing interest and motivation, and fostering students' mastery of chemical content and overall performance. The study concludes with the importance of developing AR-based chemical education, along with recommendations and directions for future research.

This study was carried out to identify teaching aids that are often used by trainee teachers during online teaching and learning sessions, to identify the level of use of teaching aids by trainee teachers when delivering lessons online, as well as to analyze the effectiveness of teaching aids in helping trainee teachers deliver lessons online. This study is designed as a mixed method research which combines both quantitative and qualitative methods. The instruments for conducting this study are questionnaires, interviews and observations. A total of 50 respondents consisting of Bachelor of Malay Language students were selected as the sample for the second and third objectives. Four trainee teachers were selected to investigate the first and third objectives. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The first objective findings have shown that trainee teachers use a variety of teaching aids in teaching grammar topics, essays and literature component (KOMSAS). The findings of the second objective found that the level of use of teaching aids during PdPR is at a high level. Finally, the findings for the third objective show that the effectiveness of learning using teaching aids is very high. In conclusion, the implication of this study is to be able to improve the quality of teachers' teaching when conducting classes online and improve the teachers' skills in handling information technology.

The increasing impact of climate change has gained global attention and has led to various mitigation measures being taken to address it. Mitigation measures through education, especially Climate Change Education, are one of the measures to increase public readiness to act on climate change. The understanding of the impact of food consumption on climate change should be enhanced to form a generation that adopts sustainable diets. The shift from unsustainable dietary patterns to sustainable diets can reduce the carbon footprint of foods that contribute to climate change. A low understanding and awareness of the importance of adopting a sustainable diet in mitigating the effects of climate change is a challenge that needs to be overcome. This article reviews the issues and challenges in implementing Climate Change Education which is an important medium for improving sustainable dietary practices. Among the issues and challenges identified are the knowledge and willingness of teachers to implement climate change education. In addition, the issue of under skilled teachers integrating knowledge about climate change-related food consumption in teaching is also a challenge. Environmental conditions that do not support sustainable dietary practices such as food availability, advertising, and economic affordability are also challenges in improving sustainable dietary practices. Therefore, measures should be taken to improve the readiness and skills of teachers to integrate knowledge related to sustainable diet practices into the teaching session. In addition, efforts to provide an environment that supports sustainable dietary practices need to be stepped up. This is because sustainable diet practices can reduce the impact of carbon footprint generation and can improve the health of the community in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

PENGGUNAAN TEKNOLOGI MULTIMEDIA TERHADAP KEBERKESANAN PENGAJARAN DAN PEMBELAJARAN DALAM SISTEM PENDIDIKAN DI MALAYSIA

The education system in Malaysia has undergone educational reforms implemented to address the weaknesses inherent in the education system as well as to meet the needs of current needs and future needs. Thus, Information Technology and Multimedia have brought about many changes in the field of education and are becoming increasingly important in the development of the world of education. In this regard, this concept paper aims to detail the use of Multimedia Technology used in the field of education in Malaysia. Among them are in the curriculum, pedagogy as well as teaching and learning materials. Teaching and learning methods need to change in line with the development of cyber technology and access to the growing internet. This study is expected to be a platform to build the confidence of educators to develop Multimedia Technology-based teaching aids in order towards 21st Century Education. Therefore, further studies should be increased in stages to encourage the use of Multimedia Technology in the process of teaching and learning for specific subjects in schools.

The Periodic Table of Elements (PTE) is a fundamental topic in the Standards-Based Secondary Curriculum (KSSM), specifically in the Form 4 Chemistry curriculum. Understanding the PTE is crucial for mastering Chemistry and is also relevant to other science subjects. However, many students find the PTE challenging and dull due to its complex and abstract subtopics. To make learning the PTE more engaging and effective, a more active teaching approach is needed, moving away from conventional passive methods. Therefore, integrating game-based learning (GBL) as an interactive and dynamic method is the optimal choice. Previous studies have demonstrated that GBL is an effective approach for comprehending the PTE in a meaningful way. In response to the demands of industry 4.0, several countries worldwide have embraced the Integrated STEM approach. This approach exposes students to the importance of acquiring interdisciplinary knowledge that can be applied to real-world problems. Consequently, this article explores the integration of the Integrated STEM approach with game-based learning to facilitate the understanding of the periodic table of elements. Both approaches have been widely acknowledged in literature as providing significant learning experiences for students.
