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

Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between the overall scientific performance of the pre-test and post-test and the impact of the application of "Microb" on scientific performance. The theme is "microorganisms and their effects". The sample group consisted of 30. Year 5 pupils’ from a primary school in Johor Bahru. They were selected for this quantitative study through purposeful sampling. Investigation, pre-test and post-test are used to collect research data. The results show that based on the four science constructs, year 5 pupils’ acceptance of the “Microb” mobile application is very high. According to the survey results, although there is no relationship between the two overall performance tests and no impact was found in the research, it was found that the “Microb” mobile application has a positive impact on the scientific performance of year 5 pupils’, based on the construct of scientific process skills, understanding, application and knowledge. The results of this research will make an important contribution to the field of education and provide new options for choosing the "Microb" mobile application as an educational tool to strengthen science education. In general, the "Microb" mobile application in technology can be a good educational tool for scientific learning, but educators must organize lesson plans well and not deviate from the focus of learning

Smart Application for Smart Learning: How the Influence of the Factors on Student Swimming Learning Outcomes in Sports Education

“…The use of smart applications in various purposes is a current trend, the ease and effectiveness of this application is the main purpose of its use. Research on the use of smart applications can be found in various purposes such as youth financial management [31], science learning in primary school [32], disseminating messages and events of university colleges [33], and the formation of analytical competence of future specialists [34], including in the field of sports education [35]. The use of smart applications in sports education, such as the smart application in swimming, is interesting to discuss, because the use of smart applications in learning to swim is something that can give students interest and interest in learning to swim.…”

Enhancing Scientific Knowledge Depth in Middle School Students through the Woods Model of Science Instruction using Mobile Technology

“…The Woods model offers a structured approach to science learning that actively involves students in making predictions, conducting observations, and constructing explanations based on evidence [33]. It aims to foster conceptual change and enhance students' understanding of scientific concepts by building on their prior knowledge and promoting active engagement in the learning process.…”
