Many students at diploma level are weak in mathematics even after
spending eleven years in Malaysian education system. However, throughout
the world there are research studies been done with mixed results using
technology and collaborative learning. The objective of this paper is to
analyze the effect of learning pre-algebra using interactive courseware with
collaborative learning by using STAD set ups with interactive courseware
using e-mail facilities during team discussion only. Quasi experimental type
research was used. The gain score (differences between post and pre test)
between the two equivalent groups. of Diploma Information Technology
first year students in two different intake years 2009 and 2010 in UTHM
were employed. „t-test‟ results revealed the second group using e-mail is
statistically significantly inferior to the group using purely interactive
multimedia courseware CDiCL only with STAD team discussion. On
average participants experienced higher gain scores in the first group (Mean
= 3.28, SE=0.433), than participants in the second group (M=0.77,
SE=0.354). This difference was statistically significant (t (74) = 4.51,
p<0.05); however, it did show a medium effect size of r = 0.45. Some
clinical interviews and video recordings were taken to support that teams
prefer using traditional collaborative learning method with more face to face
interactions rather than e-mails in solving problem. |
