| Summary: | <p>This study aimed to develop and determine the usability of Geometrical Optics</p><p>Learning Module (GOLeM) towards Physics Matriculation students. The GOLeM was</p><p>developed using ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) model and</p><p>this module had been validated by seven experts. This research used a questionnaire</p><p>to evaluate the usability of the developed module. The research sample consisted of</p><p>186 students that was selected through cluster random sampling from an accessible</p><p>population of 359 Physics Module II students in Perak Matriculation College. The</p><p>research instrument was usability questionnaire that was used to measure the students</p><p>perceptions towards the usability of the module. The questionnaire was adapted based</p><p>on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The data were analysed using</p><p>descriptive and inferential statistics including frequency, mean, standard deviation and</p><p>independent t-test. The average mean score for five constructs (M=4.46; S.D.=0.39)</p><p>depicted that GOLeM was usable. Additionally, the average percentage of agreement</p><p>for all constructs was high (96.6%). The t-test analysis showed significant differences</p><p>between male and female students in the constructs of perceived usefulness (PU) (t</p><p>(184) = 2.48, p=0.014), behavioral intention (BI) (t (184) = 3.343, p=0.001) and selfefficacy</p><p>(SE) (t (184) = 3.061, p=0.002). In conclusion, the main finding of the study</p><p>showed that GOLeM is valid and has higher level of usability among Physics</p><p>Matriculation students especially for the topic of Geometrical Optics. The research</p><p>implication affects the field of module development at Matriculation level, encourage</p><p>Matriculation lecturers to be more proactive in producing similar modules for all</p><p>subjects. The use of smartphone technology and mobile applications in the other</p><p>module may also be improved and diversified.</p> |
