Using ‘Popplet’ Application To Encourage The Use Of Multiple Modes Of Representations In Learning Transition Metals.
PhD thesis, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Abstract
This study introduced writing-to-learn (WTL) activities integrated with graphic organizers using the “Popplet” application to encourage the embedding and translating Multiple Modes of Representations (MMR). Simultaneously, this study measured the effectiveness of the embedding and translating MMR on students’ misconceptions on transition metals and attitude towards learning chemistry. Concurrent embedded mixed method design was employed for eight weeks with 81 Form Six students. The effectiveness of WTL activities integrated with graphic organizers using the ‘Popplet’ application to encourage the embedding and translating MMR measured using open-ended tests. Then, the open-ended tests were evaluated using Multimodal Writing Task Embeddedness Inventory (MWTEI) and Multimodal Writing Task Translation Inventory (MWTTI) respectively. The Transition Metal Diagnostic Tests (TMDT) measured students’ misconceptions on transition metals while Attitude Towards Learning Chemistry Lessons (ATCL) measured students’ attitude towards learning chemistry.
