Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of computer simulation with the electronic circuit on students’ motivation, achievement, and cognitive load. The assessment is done through the post-test, Instructional Materials Motivational Scale (IMMS) questions and the NASA Task Load Index cognitive load test. This study discusses the development of LiveWire simulation also the laboratory worksheet for the LiveWire software that will be developed for the subject Design & Technology for Form Three students at the secondary school level. The evaluation of the LiveWire software and the laboratory worksheet that will be developed involves the evaluation of the usability and users’ satisfaction. The method of delivery using LiveWire is a systematic step in the exploration into the use of simulation for electronic circuits. LiveWire is also suitable and is capable of increasing the development of meaningful knowledge among students. This is because of the strategy of use of the laboratory worksheet in helping the students to explore into and master a simulation application, especially for novice learners.
