Abstract

<p>This research was conducted to: (1) design a Schoology-based blended learning media for Basic Physics I course on the topics of vector quantity, linear motion, and translational dynamics, (2) describe the validity of the product, (3) describe the product’s effectiveness in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding and problem solving skills, and (4) describe students’ responses towards the media and blended learning model. The development procedures employed were ADDIE model which consisedt of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. In development stage, the assessment had been conducted by two experts to assess validity of media both in content and construct aspects. The results showed that the validities in content aspect and construct aspect were “very good” and “good”, respectively. The results from classroom implementation revealed the effectiveness of the product in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding and problem solving skills. Students’ responses towards the product’s utility, attractiveness, and easiness as blended learning media were also positive. The conclusion was that the media was valid and effective as blended learning media of Basic Physics I course.</p>

Highlights

Facing the rapiddevelopment of globalization era in the 21th Century, teachers and educationalinstitutions are demanded to be able to prepare their students to have competences or skills
This study described the validity of blended learning (BL) content and construct based on expert assessment, the effectiveness in improving concept understanding and students’ problem-solving skill, and students’ responses towards its benefit, its attractiveness, its ease and its class model
Since the percentage of minimum achievement (MA) was greater than 70%, the product could be said effective as learning BL media on Schoology in the course of Basic Physics I

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Facing the rapiddevelopment of globalization era in the 21th Century, teachers and educationalinstitutions are demanded to be able to prepare their students to have competences or skills. Online learning could be used as an addition to improve students’ understanding of the material who has not been explained by the lecturer in class. From the view of students, the advantage is in the increase of control they have wherever and whenever they involve in the learning process.From the view of teachers, the benefits are very structured tasks management, efficient, and safe (Fadde & Vu, 2014), and could grow students’ critical thinking through discussion forum (Comer & Lenaghan, 2013). This study described the validity of BL content and construct based on expert assessment, the effectiveness in improving concept understanding and students’ problem-solving skill, and students’ responses towards its benefit, its attractiveness, its ease and its class model. Online discussion forum on Technology was organized so that students could answer first before using, reviewing, or studying their friends’ answer
