ABSTRAK
Tajuk Elektrokimia didapati sukar dipelajari kerana konsep abstrak
yang melibatkan tahap perwakilan makroskopik, mikroskopik dan simbolik. Kajian
lepas menunjukkan bahawa animasi dan simulasi menggunakan teknologi maklumat
dan komunikasi (TMK) boleh membantu pelajar membayangkan dan
seterusnya memperkuatkan pemahaman mereka dalam mempelajari tajuk kimia yang
abstrak. Ekoran daripada itu, modul multimedia interaktif dengan agen pedagogi
(MMIAP)
yang dinamakan Makmal EK (Elektrokimia) dibangunkan dalam usaha
membantu pelajar dalam mempelajari Elektrokimia. Reka bentuk penyiasatan kuasi
eksperimen dengan ujian pra/pos kumpulan kawalan tidak setara dijalankan dalam
usaha untuk menilai keberkesanan MMIAP Makmal EK terhadap pemahaman
konsep pelajar dalam mempelajari elektrokimia. Seramai 127 orang pelajar
tingkatan empat dari dua buah sekolah menengah terlibat dalam kajian ini.
Setiap sekolah mempunyai sebuah kumpulan rawatan dan sebuah kumpulan kawalan
yang diajar oleh guru kimia yang sama. Ujian pencapaian pra dan pos diberikan untuk
menilai pemahaman konsep Elektrokimia pelajar sebelum dan selepas mempelajari
kimia. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa intervensi seperti yang direkabentuk
dalam kajian menghasilkan perbezaan yang bererti antara kumpulan kawalan dan
kumpulan rawatan dalam memahami konsep Elekotrokimia.

ABSTRACT
Electrochemistry is a topic found to be difficult to learn due to
its abstract concepts involving macroscopic, microscopic and symbolic
representation levels. Previous studies showed that animation and simulation
using information and communication technology (ICT) can help students to
visualize and enhance their understanding in learning abstract chemistry
topics. As a result, interactive multimedia module with pedagogical agent (IMMPA)
named EC (electrochemistry) Lab was developed in order to assist students
in the learning of Electrochemistry. A non-equivalent pretest and posttest
control group design investigation was carried out in order to gauge the
effectiveness of EC Lab on students’ understanding of concepts
in the learning of electrochemistry. A total of 127 form four students from two
secondary schools were involved in the study. Each school has one treatment
group and one control group taught by the same chemistry teacher. Pre and post
achievement tests were given to evaluate students’ understanding of
electrochemistry concepts before and after the learning of electrochemistry.
Our results showed that the intervention as designed in the study yield
significant difference between control group and treatment group in the
understanding of concepts in the learning of Electrochemistry.
