dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of learning science laboratory safety using visual signalling principle in a virtual reality environment on students’ performance, cognitive load and perceived motivation among students with different spatial ability. A 22 quasi experimental factorial design was adopted in this research. The independent variables used in the learning of science laboratory safety were the two modes of courseware which is virtual reality with signalling (VRS) and virtual reality with non-signalling (VRNS). The moderator variable was the spatial ability. The dependant variables were the students’ performance, cognitive load and perceived motivation. The study sample consisted of 141 students from three schools. All the subjects were randomly assigned to any one of the two modes of courseware. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the collected data. ANOVA was used to determine the significant differences of the students’ performance, cognitive load and perceived motivation between the two groups, as well as the interaction effects of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The findings of this study showed that the use VRS has shown better effects when compared to VRNS on students’ performance. More to the point, visual signalling has also rallied round in reducing students’ intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load and helps to increase students’ perceived motivation when using ViSLab courseware. Low spatial ability (LSA) students significantly performed better, having lower intrinsic cognitive load and extraneous cognitive load, and received higher perceived motivation when using mode VRS.
