Abstract

The Frog Virtual Learning Environment (Frog VLE) is a virtual learning medium that is one of the main agendas in today's educational landscape especially in Malaysia. The main objective of using Frog VLE is to simplify and enhance teaching and learning process. This study evaluated the effectiveness of Frog VLE in primary school using the Technology Acceptance Model. The study was carried out using a quasi-experimental design involving two groups; one control group and a treatment group. The former used the chalk-and-talk approach, while the latter used the Frog VLE approach. We administered a structured questionnaire to a primary school in Malaysia to elucidate the students’ perspective on the usage of Frog VLE in teaching and learning process. The mean score analysis and paired-t test were applied to the analysis, and the results showed that the majority of the students found that the Frog VLE tool is useful and effective for learning.

Highlights

Teachers prefer to use chalk and talk in the classroom which getting less attention from the students
The Frog VLE is an innovation in education that falls in line with the development of technology introduced by the Ministry of Education (MoE) in Malaysia
The system was implemented in primary schools in Malaysia at mid-2013

Summary

Introduction

Teachers prefer to use chalk and talk in the classroom which getting less attention from the students. Frog Virtual Learning Environment (Frog VLE) is introduced to capture their attention and interest towards learning. This learning tool is applicable to all the subjects. The Frog VLE is an innovation in education that falls in line with the development of technology introduced by the Ministry of Education (MoE) in Malaysia. Frog VLE is a cloud-based learning platform that link administrators, managers, school teachers, and students within a school’s ecosystem [1]. This system is a learning content management system that allows teacher to provide materials to their students remotely. The network can be utilized by teachers, students and parents to share learning resources, for interactive learning, and dynamic communications
