ABSTRACT
DEVELOPMENT AND ASSESSMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE MODULE AND LAB MODULE USING ADDIE MODEL
This study developed and assessed a comprehensive module and lab module using the ADDIE model. This study has resulted in an alternative method of learning Engineering Mathematics. The research design includes identifying the topics for Engineering Mathematics lab sessions, determining the difficult course outcomes for Engineering Mathematics, the development and assessment of Engineering Mathematics module. The study begin with comparing Engineering Mathematics syllabus from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia with other universities. Eight topics were proposed for lab sessions of Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Equation subjects respectively. Next, preliminary test was conducted for Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Equation subjects separately. A total of eight course outcomes were identified for the module development. New questions were developed based on the course outcomes. The solution for the module were derived through analytical method and Mathematica software. Assessment of the Engineering Mathematics module begins with a pre-test conducted for sixty students from the Department of Electrical, Electronic and System Engineering, FKAB, UKM. Then the students divided randomly into tutorial and laboratorial group. These students undergo tutorial and laboratorial session for 8 weeks. After the eight weeks, both the control and treatment groups of students were given post-test. Pre-post test results were analyzed with Rasch model. The difficulty level of the questions has been reduced after post-test. The Engineering Mathematics module has improved the learning of engineering mathematics.
