“…This topic is compulsory for science stream students to learn from the secondary level up to tertiary level. It is a challenging topic since it involves with non-visualized concepts and many mathematical calculations and formulas (Cai et al, 2017;Karacop, 2017;Li & Singh, 2012;Mueanploy, 2016;Zajkov et al, 2017). In a study conducted by Barma & Daniel (2017), most students failed in the exam which involves the concept of this topic.…”

New approach in teaching and learning (T&L) is essential to sustain the evolvement of knowledge towards a borderless frame. One way to achieve this is by utilizing technology, particularly in T&L with the aim to scaffold the process of knowledge transfer efficiently. In order to adapt to the changes, educators must keep their pace synchronized with the latest innovation in teaching tools, which is common in the field of e-learning. The lack of T & L tools, particularly in learning Physics subjects and the challenges in mastering the concepts are the motivation for a need analysis to be carried out for post-secondary students. This study is crucial to elucidate the actual needs among educators as well as students and to address the choice of topics and preferable methods. The respondent of this study consists of 38 Physics lecturers from eight matriculation colleges under the Ministry of Education, Malaysia, selected through random sampling. A survey form was developed and validated by four experts and data were collected by distributing the survey form randomly. Data were analysed based on the descriptive analysis method. There were four important outcomes regarding the common needs among the educators (1) A swift effort is required to develop an interactive module for T&L using a smartphone; (2) Electromagnetism is the most challenging topic among students; (3) The root cause of the problem arises is due to the inability to visualize the physics concepts; and (4) Simulation, videos, smart apps, and exercises are the aspects that need to be considered in developing the interactive module. Based on these findings, the development of an interactive module for the Electromagnetism topic using smartphone is inevitable with the aim to facilitate the T&L process and enhance students’ understandings.

“…The physics workshop promotes peer instruction [16][17][18][19] and co-operative learning [20][21][22][23], to stimulate understanding of basic physics concepts and to facilitate problem-solving skills. In turn, improved students' performance is expected.…”

“…In turn, improved students' performance is expected. Substantial evidence has shown [5,[7][8][9][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] that effective teaching in physics requires guided inquiry-based strategies. It has also been emphasized that hands-on, student centered approaches are necessary to achieve proficiency in physics [13][14][15].…”

“…In modern day peer instruction, questions are written to engage every student in the class, by allowing students to explain core concepts to their peers. The method has been proven to be successful [16][17][18][19], and studies have shown it to achieve increased student mastery of conceptual, reasoning, and quantitative problem solving. However, it should be noted that, as explained earlier, our student population is dissimilar to the typical Ivy League school student but very similar to many other typical four-year colleges' students.…”

Enhancing student performance in introductory physics in topics related to electricity and magnetism through the use of voluntary workshops

This article examines the effect of voluntary workshops on students’ performance in a university for algebra-based introductory physics on the topics of electricity, magnetism and related areas. A workshop is an optional one-hour-per-week session that promotes a small group’s peer instruction and co-operative learning, in order to enhance the conceptual understanding of physical principles and to improve problem-solving skills. During the workshops, a small group of students were encouraged to exchange ideas in a co-operative learning environment. Most students enrolled were poorly motivated, underprepared, and did not possess the prerequisite mathematics needed. For those who attended workshops, the result of scores on a standardized conceptual survey in electricity and magnetism showed a pre-test−post-test gain of 21% in the number of correct responses. This is to be contrasted with a 5% increase for those students who did not attend workshops. Further, we present a breakdown of the final letter grades obtained by students who attended workshops versus those who did not. Since the introduction of the workshops (out of 374 students), 95% of those who attended made a ‘C’ or better in the course. This compares to only 50% of the students who did not attend workshops and making a ‘C’ or better. The workshops have been offered since the Fall of 2010, but analyzed data includes fourteen years of student letter grades from 2001 to 2014 in order to study the effects on the workshops of the D, F, or W grades (DFW rate). We report a 7% reduction of the DFW rates, which we attribute to the incorporation of the workshops. The workshops are easy to implement and relatively inexpensive, yet appear to be an effective instructional method that enhances the success of underprepared students.
