Integrating Animations in Chinese Character Writing Based on Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning to Promote Students’ Writing Skills

Abstract

<p class="0abstract">The complexity of Chinese character caused students facing learning difficulty in mastering the Chinese character writing skills. This study aimed to investigate the effect and students' perception on the implementation of animation in teaching and learning of Chinese character writing based on Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (AniCC Online Learning) via Frog VLE platform. Meanwhile, the relationship of implementation of AniCC Online Learning and pupil's writing performance was also studied to have further insights into the Chinese character teaching and learning situation. Pre-experimental one group pre-test and post-test design were adopted and thirty three Year 1 students were selected as the respondents in this research which involved four types of instruments. There was a significant different (p = 0.013) between the scores of pre-test and post-test for students' writing performance after performing paired samples t-test. The study also showed an increase in the means scores of students' writing skills and an increase in the percentage of students' writing skills ranking at rank 4 or above although no significant different (p = 0.180) was observed between the pre writing assessment and post writing assessment after Wilcoxon Test was performed. The students overall showed high acceptance towards integration of AniCC Online Learning with overall mean score 0.90 (maximum = 1). In sum, the design of AniCC Online Learning via Frog VLE platform is able to improve writing performance as well as to help students in their writing skills.</p>

The Integration of Life-Based Learning Based Local Wisdom in the Development of Innovative Biotechnology Learning Models

“…In addition, contextual experience can also be done with a virtual reality laboratory (VR) by manipulating objects in virtual scenes that resemble the real world [19]. Virtual reality (VR) laboratory implementation can be done using a tablet, PC or smartphone that can be accessed anytime and anywhere [20].Contextual experience obtained by using cellular features, which was following the learning environment, so the integration of pedagogical and technology elements became complex [21], and the use of multimedia contributed to the level of understanding of the material [22]. The task of the teacher in this case needs to be reminded the use of digital technology needs to be balanced with humanistic literacy so as not to violate digital ethics [23].…”

The Impact of Using Blackboard on Student’s Grades

“…Checking these six expectations just adds extra time to our analysis. However, we use SPSS Statistics and think a little more about our data, which is not a difficult task [18,19]. Assumption 1.…”

The Effect of Using ‘Microb’ Mobile Application in Science Learning in Primary School

“…According to a study conducted by [10][11][12][13], respondents who are not interested in science and lack self-confidence are the reasons for their decline in academic performance. The research conducted has concluded that students are now not concerned about the science in their lives.…”

“…Communications tools have improved such that users can easily carry their phones wherever they go. A large part of the acceptance of mobile devices in today's world is the ability to surf the Internet without the use of a computer or Internet connection [4] [7][10] [12]. Using mobile devices in education can encourage students to share information and collaborate through online learning.…”
