Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aims to design and develop a courseware named Nutri-Score with pedagogical agent for the topic of Nutrition in Biology form four. This quasi-experimental design study involved 181 students from two secondary schools in Kedah and Penang respectively. 90 respondents from the treatment group studied Nutrition through Nutri-Score while the other 91 respondents from the control group studied Nutrition cooperatively. Then the learning effect by using the two teaching strategies were tested on four dependent variables namely higher order thinking skills and their components which are classifying skill as well as comparing and contrasting skill. The four dependent variables were set according to the New Taxonomy from Marzano Model. The findings were analyzed inferentially by using the Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) Test. The pre-test result was used as the covariate. The quantitative analysis showed that the use of Nutri-Score has helped to improve the higher order thinking skills, classifying skill as well as the comparing and contrasting skill in pupils significantly. This study contributes to the method of designing and developing a teaching courseware to enhance higher order thinking skills among secondary school Biology students. The positive results produced contribute positive implications to the models and theories which were integrated in the design and development of the courseware.
