| Summary: | This
study
aimed
to
enhance
students’
visualization
of
the
micro-scale
structure
of
the
solid
crystal
using
computer
simulation
and
game
for
undergraduate
science
students.
A
computer
teaching
module,
which
comprised
3D
models,
various
computer
simulations
and
an
instructional
game,
was
developed.
Two
groups
of
students
participated
in
the
learning
unit:
the
traditional
group
was
taught
in
the
traditional
lecture
format,
whereas the experimental group
received instructions that incorporated
the
computer
module
activities.
Our
research instruments consisted of
a
test,
a
rating
scale
questionnaire and personal interviews.
Both
groups took the pretest and posttest.
The
research results
indicated
that
students
who
were supplemented with the computer
module
improved their knowledge and visualization
ability
of
the
micro-structure
of
solid
crystals
more than the traditional group. |
