Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using AnimationBased
Multimedia which was built by the researcher as a learning material on
student achievement, motivation and attitudes. The selection of Animation-Based
Multimedia as learning material was based on previous findings and was expected
to improve learner performance. Students' motivation after using AnimationBased
Multimedia was examined. Futhermore, this study also assessed changes
in students' attitudes toward the use of multimedia computers as learning medium.
Previously, researchers have found that the "Field Independence" (FI) and
"Field Dependence" (FD) cognitive style and "high internal motivation (MT)" and
"low internal motivation (MR)" effective style representing the learners' mode of
gaining, storing, processing and using information account for considerable
variation in achievement among learners. This study, therefore, sets out to
investigate the effect of using Animation-Based Multimedia on a group consisting
of a combination ofFD/FI and of high/low internal motivation (MT/MR)
students.
The Animation-Based Multimedia courseware on "Basic ElectroPneumatics"
was systematically designed and constructed using the software
"AuthoWare Professional 3.5". The development ofthe courseware involved
animation, graphics, text, colour, video and audio/sound characteristics.
A quasi-experimental design was used in studying the effects of AnimationBased
Multimedia. The sample for this research consisted of 97 semester 5
students studying for a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering at Ungku Omar
Polytechnic, lpoh.
Result from the analysis of variance indicated that students have achieved
better gain score after using Animation-Based Multimedia. The findings revealed
that overall gain score (post-test score- pre-test score) of the FD and MR students
were superior to those of FI and MT students. FD and MR students and their
combination groups received most help from Animation-Based Multimedia and
thus achieved the biggest gain. No interaction was found between the "FI" and
"FD" styles and "high internal motivation (MT)" and "low internal motivation
(MR)" styles.
It was found that the use of Animation-Based Multimedia significantly
affected student motivation, especially for the component of "attention" and
"relevance". The results also indicated that the students showed positive changes
in attitude towards the use of multimedia computers as a learning medium, but
this was not significant. The time taken by the students to use the AnimationBased
Multimedia courseware was also examined and the results showed a
significant difference between the FD/MR and FI/MT groups. A positive
correlation was found between the time taken in using the Animation-Based
Multimedia courseware and the change of attitudes.
As a conclusion, Animation-Based Multimedia used in the study encouraged
the FD and MR students to spend mor~ time in learning and to achieve a bigger
gam score. Furthermore, this study has shown that the use of Animation-Based
Multimedia in engineering subjects helped the learning of the low independence
and low internal motivation engineering students. The researcher recommends
that more Animation-Based Multimedia courseware be developed for the
engineering subjects which is expected to improve student achievement and
performance, especially for the low independence and low internal motivation
students.
