“…Hal ini menyebabkan pelajar mengalami kesukaran untuk menguasai mata pelajaran fizik (Mazlena Murshed, 2020;Norbaizura Nordin & Rozidawati Awang, 2021;Norezan Ibrahim et al, 2019). Salah satu kesukaran yang dihadapi oleh pelajar adalah mentafsir graf yang mewakili maklumat yang kompleks dalam mata pelajaran fizik (Amin et al, 2020;Antwi et al, 2018;Norbaizura Nordin, 2019;Norbaizura Nordin & Rozidawati Awang, 2021;Phage, 2018). Antara kesukaran pelajar dalam mentafsir graf adalah pelajar tidak dapat memilih pernyataan yang tepat mengenai halaju sesuatu jasad berdasarkan graf sesaran-masa (s-t) yang diberikan serta pelajar tidak dapat menentukan nilai halaju sesuatu jasad berdasarkan graf sesaran-masa(s-t) yang diberikan.…”

“…Didapati pelajar gagal menyelesaikan masalah yang berkaitan kecerunan graf (Amin et al, 2020;Ceuppens et al, 2019;Klein et al, 2019;Núñez et al, 2022b;Zajkov & Gegovska-Zajkova, 2020) dan luas di bawah graf (Amin et al, 2020;Klein et al, 2019Klein et al, , 2020Klein et al, , 2021Núñez et al, 2022a;Zajkov & Gegovska-Zajkova, 2020). Pelajar tidak dapat membuat perkaitan antara rumus dengan graf menyebabkan mereka tidak mengetahui bahawa kuantiti fizik yang ditentukan dapat diperoleh daripada kecerunan graf (Amin et al, 2020;Phage, 2018). Perkara ini menyebabkan pelajar tidak menentukan kecerunan bagi dua titik sebaliknya terus mengambil nilai bacaan pada paksiy sebagai nilai bagi kecerunan graf (Amin et al, 2020;Zajkov & Gegovska-Zajkova, 2020;Zavala et al, 2017).…”

The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Linear Motion Graph learning module (PGeL) among Form Four students. The design of this study is the developmental research which involves the development of the PGeL learning module based on the ASSURE instructional design model. The module was developed by applying chunking elements, mnemonic, interactive simulations, POE approach (predict, observe and explain) and graphics techniques. The effectiveness of the PGeL module was investigated using the quasi-experimental design. A total of 94 secondary school students in Kuala Lumpur zone were selected as respondents using the cluster random sampling technique and consist of two groups; the treatment group and the control group. The effectiveness of the PGeL learning module was determined using pre-test and post-test question sets. Data analysis was carried out using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) software. The findings showed that the developed PGeL learning module had high face validity and content validity of 97.1% and 95.3%, respectively. The pre-test and post-test questions were used to collect information on student achievement in the Linear Motion Graph topic. Analysis of student responses in context found that the treatment group showed a better improvement in achievement compared to the control group, with the best improvement being in problem-solving contexts. Independent samples t-test analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the pre-test score between the treatment group and the control group [t (92, p = 0.824) = -0.223, p>0.05]. Independent samples t-test analysis also showed that there was a significant difference in the post-test score between the treatment group and the control group [t (92, p = 0.000) = 10.919, p<0.05]. Furthermore, independent samples t-test analysis showed that there was a significant difference in achievement between the treatment group and the control group [t (92, p = 0.000) = 12.622, p<0.05]. In conclusion, the developed PGeL learning module is effective in improving the achievement of form four students in the Linear Motion Graph topic. The implication of this study is that the PGeL learning module is suitable for use as a learning aid for the Linear Motion Graph topic.
