| Summary: | This study was done to look into the effectiveness of Microcomputer-based Laboratory (MBL) in an active physics teaching and learning environment for topic of Force and Motion in Fundamental Physics I course for Bachelor of Science Education at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). Comparison was made between two groups of students taking Bachelor of Science Education at UPSI during second semester of the 2001/2002 session. Group A was made up of semester II students while group B comprised of semester VI students. A multiple choice Malay-translated version of the Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FMCE) was used as research instrument. A pretest was given at the beginning of the semester while a posttest was given at the end. Group A was taking Fundamentals Physics I and carried out the MBL using RealTime Physics module. Motion and force sensors with DataStudio were used during the experiments. There were ten three-hour lab sessions. Group B took Classical Mechanics course and did not get the benefit of using MBL. Data gathered from the pretest and posttest were processed using Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Result clearly indicated that the MBL was effective and able to reduce students misconceptions in the topics of force and motion. Using paired t - test showed that the value of t = 16.454 which means that the result is significant at 99% ( = 0.01) confidence interval. |
