| description | This study investigated the effectiveness of “PhET” interactive simulations to
embed and translate multi-mode representations and effectiveness of embedding and
translating multi-mode representations on students’ misconceptions and retention of
knowledge in chemical equilibrium. This study also investigated students’ flow
experiences towards learning chemistry. Concurrent embedded mixed method design
was employed for four weeks among 140 Matriculation students. The effectiveness
of “PhET” interactive simulations to encourage the embedding and translating multimode
representations measured using Chemical Equilibrium Open Ended Questions
(CEOEQ). The Chemical Equilibrium Diagnostic Instrument (CEDI) measured
students’ misconceptions and retention of knowledge in chemical equilibrium while
Students’ Flow Experiences Questionnaire (SFEQ) measured students’ flow
experiences towards learning chemistry. The MANCOVA analysis performed
indicates that PhET interactive simulations significantly improved multi-mode
representations embeddedness in CEOEQ open ended test ((F (1,134) = 603.925, P
<0.00, n2 = 0.818) and improved translation between multi-mode representations (F
(1,137) = 473.784, P <0.00, n2= 0.776). |
