Therefore, this study aims to determine the effects of using the SIASAT acronym mnemonic technique with the help of index multiplication table and 'Think-Pair-Share' cooperative learning on the achievement of low-achieving students in index multiplication. This quantitative study used a quasi experimental design with two groups which comprised of 40 students in the control group and another 40 students in the treatment group. The control group followed conventional learning with teacher centered approach while the treatment group was exposed to the use of mnemonic acronym SIASAT, indices multiplication table and Think-Pair-Share cooperative learning. Findings showed that the students in both groups improved their scores from the pre-test to the post-test. However, the achievement of students in the treatment group was g...

Thus, the aims of this study were to design a computer-based simulation lesson employing currently available PC and internet software and investigate its effectiveness in various learning situations. The heart of the lesson was the utilitarian Gas Law Simulation program developed by Abraham, Gelder, and Haines (2002) that was incorporated into a hypertext interface display with active links to related notes and worksheets and a superimposed Microsoft Excel table and chart-plotting facility. This package allowed students to review the concepts involved and see relationships between the variables in graphical forms when a selected independent variable was manipulated and all the corresponding values were keyed into the Excel table. A science process skill and HD thinking worksheet was drawn following Lawson’s (1995) prescriptions and the questions and activities were further modified to fit the local syllabus and physics texts. A pilot study was conducted to evaluate and refine the lesson and field testing was conducted using a 3 x 2 factorial design. The first factor was the inquiry-based computer simulation lesson with three modes of cooperative learning, namely, heterogeneous-ability cooperative learning (HACL) group, friendship-based cooperative learning (FCL) group, and traditional group work (TGW) group. The HACL and FCL group were trained following the Kagan (1994) Cooperative Learning Structure while the TGW group which was essentially another friendship-based learning group was not instructed on the Kagan (1994) Cooperative Learning Structure. The second factor was student reasoning ability, namely, empirical-inductive (EI) and hypothetical-deductive (HD) abilities. The sample consisted of 301 Form Four (16-year-old) science students. The results showed that students in the HACL group significantly outperformed their counterparts in the FCL group who, in turn, significantly outperformed their counterparts in the TGW group in scientific thinking and conceptual understanding. The study found that the inquiry-based computer simulation program was effective in enhancing scientific reasoning and conceptual understanding of students of all reasoning abilities but for maximum effectiveness cooperative learning groups should be composed of students of heterogeneous abilities.

This study meant to determine the quality of ATT instruments through the validity and reliability analysis using the Rasch Measurement Model. ATT comprises of nine closed ended questions with three constructs of algebraic thinking namely: Generalized Arithmetic (GA), Functions (F) and Modeling (M). The sample consisted of 120 students aged 12 to 13 years from one rural area school in Tuaran district, Sabah. Validity analysis found that the polarity of the items through the PTMEA-Corr value indicated that all ten items were >0.00 (+). Through item suitability analysis, all items are still retained as they meet the requirements in the range of one of the MNSQ, Outfit ZSTD and PTMEA-Corr outfit. In the Principal Components Analysis (PCA), the Raw Variance Explained by Measures was found 61.1% (excellent) and the Unexplained vari...

This study was conducted at a secondary school in Tambunan, Sabah and involved six informants who were second-grade students who followed LC teaching and learning using drama techniques. The data collection methods used are interviews, structured observations and document analysis. The findings of the study found that the use of drama techniques involving five constructivist learning approaches had a positive impact on student motivation and character formation. Students were found to gain intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation after following this drama technique. Ethical values are found as an aspect formed in the student's character. The findings of the study show that drama techniques using a constructivist learning approach have a positive ...
