Abstract

Internal Visualization challenges concerning sub-microscopic particles in chemistry often result in some difficulties in learning the change of state of matter. Therefore, this study aims at developing an augmented reality ProCAR module that utilizes a project-based learning approach to facilitate learning changes of matter. This study employs ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) instructional design model. The quality of the module was evaluated by a group of 5 Chemistry teacher-educator experts of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia to identify the suitability of the module. Inter-rater reliability (IRR) percentages were determined and the feedback was analyzed based on thematic analysis. The result shows that 100% of its learning objectives, Content, Usability, and Assessment and 75% of its performances were good and reliable all having IRR value 75% and above. Such revealed that AR Module is potentially effective for the teaching phase change to Secondary school students. Recommendations for future studies were highlighted

Highlights

Chemistry education is a learning area that researchers have explored by experimenting with various teaching aids to enhance better learning of chemical concepts at the secondary school level
Chemistry is a science subject that is a component of Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) has received different perceptions by students on the learning difficulty due to several factors associated with the visualization of chemical phenomena [34]
There is often a case of low academic achievement in STEM due to poor attitude risen from this difficulty that comes with many factors such as the pedagogy which is sometimes a traditional approach employed in giving instruction [24]

Summary

Introduction

Chemistry education is a learning area that researchers have explored by experimenting with various teaching aids to enhance better learning of chemical concepts at the secondary school level. Chemistry is a science subject that is a component of Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) has received different perceptions by students on the learning difficulty due to several factors associated with the visualization of chemical phenomena [34]. There is often a case of low academic achievement in STEM due to poor attitude risen from this difficulty that comes with many factors such as the pedagogy which is sometimes a traditional approach employed in giving instruction [24]. This only gives little description of the concepts without explicating the depth of the content to be learned. Analyze Ideas: all students in a group bring forth their ideas and are analyzed
