The Effectiveness Of “PhET INTERACTIVE SIMULATION” In Improving Multi-Mode Representations (MMRs) Embeddedness And Translation In Learning Chemical Equilibrium Among Matriculation Students

This study investigated the effectiveness of “PhET” interactive simulations to embed and translate multi-mode representations and effectiveness of embedding and translating multi-mode representations on students’ misconceptions and retention of knowledge in chemical equilibrium. This study also i...
