Description
Summary:<p>This research aims to develop a valid and reliable Self-Directed PBL module using the</p><p>adapted recommendations found in the models provided by Problem-Based Learning</p><p>Network (PBLN) at Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) and the</p><p>instructional design model for ill-structured problem-solving by D. H. Jonassen. These</p><p>design concepts were combined to meet the module development model proposed by</p><p>Sideks Model. Biology educators perception towards the Self- Directed PBL</p><p>modules learning guide, facilitator guide, problem scenario assessment, self-directed</p><p>learning planning assessment and learning activity were investigated using quantitative</p><p>approaches. A total of 44 educators were selected using random sampling from a</p><p>population of 50 in one of the Perak districts. The validity and reliability of the module</p><p>were measured using percentage of expert agreement and Cronbachs Alpha</p><p>respectively. A set of questionnaire was adapted and used to investigate the biology</p><p>educators perception towards the modules learning guide, facilitator guide, problem</p><p>scenario assessment, self-directed learning planning assessment and learning activity.</p><p>The data obtained was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science</p><p>(SPSS) to measure the percentages and mean. Findings showed that the Self-Directed</p><p>PBL module has achieved 100% expert agreement for validity and a reliability value of</p><p>0.896. Biology educators perception towards the five constructs in the questionnaire</p><p>gained the mean of 4.30, 4.24, 4.38, 4.32 and 4.38 respectively. As a conclusion a valid</p><p>and reliable Self Directed PBL module was successfully developed and gained positive</p><p>perception from biology educators. This research implicates the development of Self</p><p>Directed PBL module is capable to act as an additional support to educators in a PBL</p><p>environment to fully harness the benefits of PBL in classrooms.</p>
