Effectiveness of Green Chemistry With Science Writing in Enhancing Understanding Chemistry Concepts
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: In this study attempt was made to investigate theeffectiveness of green chemistry with science writing heuristic (SWH) enhancingunderstanding of chemistry concepts among pre-university students. Studentsenrolled in the Matriculation Colleges in Malaysia are the top notch studentsin the country. For this purpose data has been collected from 208pre-university students in the study as an experimental or control groups. The experimental group was taught the contentusing SWH instructional approach while the control group was taught the samecontent using traditional approach. Thedata was analysed using ANCOVA and findings obtained from the quantitativeanalysis on understanding of chemistry concepts reveals that there is asignificant change in understanding of concepts (F (1,204) = 99.549, p <0.05 partial eta squared =0.335 whichfavours the experimental group. These results revealed that the green chemistrywith SWH can improved their chemistry concepts understanding. The implicationof the study with respect to pre-university education has been provided withsome highlights on the limitation of the study well as contribution,recommendations and suggestion for further research.
