Teaching Science using Virtual Experiment (part deux)

On the 7th of November, 2009, we went back to Pantai Berakas Primary School. We used the same sample and give similar activity to the pupils. The activity that we prepared was the same like the previous one ( free labeling activity) but this time we add labels on top of the activity sheet for pupils to select. This activity ( selecting labels) show improvement where the number of correct responses increased.

From our previous finding ( free labeling activity), the mean score of correct responses is 4.7. From our latest finding ( selecting labels activity ), the mean score of correct responses is 7.2. The effect size from the mean is 2.5. This shows a positive significant differences. Therefore activity that gives answer for the pupils to select should be consider. This is another alternative that teacher can use in teaching where it can help teacher to scaffold and strengthen pupils knowledge.
