| dc.description.abstract | This study is conducted to examine the effects of a multimedia constructivist environment on Form Four students' achievement and motivation in the learning of "Chemical Formulae and Equations". Multimedia Constructivist Instruction (MCI) and Multimedia Objectivist Instruction (MOl) courseware were developed. The MCI was assigned to 80 students whereas the MOl was assigned to 89 students. This quasiexperimental study employed a 2 x 2 factorial design. The independent variables were the multimedia approaches, i.e. the MCI and the MOl, whereas the dependent variables were the students' achievement and motivation. Students' ability levels (high-ability, HA or low-ability, LA), cognitive styles (field-independent, Fl or field-dependent, FD) and gender (male or female) were the moderator variables. This study found that (i) the MCI students performed significantly better and were significantly more motivated than the MOl students, (ii) the HA students performed significantly better and were significantly more motivated than the LA students, (iii) the Fl students did not perform significantly better but were significantly more motivated than the FD students, (iv) the male students did not perform significantly better but were significantly more motivated than the female students, (v) the HA students performed significantly better and were significantly more motivated than the LA students in MCI, (vi) the HA students using MCI performed significantly better but were not significantly more motivated than the HA students using MOl, (vii) the LA students using MCI did not perform significantly better but were significantly more motivated than the LA students using MOl, (viii) the Fl students performed significantly better and were significantly more motivated than the FD students in MCI, (ix) the Fl students using MCI performed significantly better but were not significantly more motivated than the Fl students using MOl, (x) the FD students using MCI did not perform significantly better but were significantly more motivated than the FD students using MOl, (xi) the male students did not perform significantly better but were significantly more motivated than the female students in MCI, (xii) the male students using MCI performed significantly better but were not significantly more motivated than the male students using MOl, and (xiii) the female students using MCI also performed significantly better but were not significantly more motivated than the female students using MOl. Overall, these findings support the positive effect of multimedia constructivist environment on the learning of "Chemical Formulae and Equations". | en_US |
