Technological advancement in the realm of education is the process of transitioning from traditional Learning and Facilitation (L&F) to the 21st Century L&F. Geographic Information System (GIS) integration in Geography subjects is crucial in Malaysia to uphold and revive Geography subjects. Ergo, the Geographic Information System-Spatial Thinking Skills Module (GIS-STS) was developed as an intervention intended in improving the Spatial Thinking Skills (STS) and attracting students to Geography subjects. This study aims to analyze the validity of the content of the GIS-STS module. The content validity analysis utilizes the consensus assessment of seven experts. The findings exhibit that the value of the coefficient of the validity of the content is .930 and based on the sub module and the activity is .870. Hence, this proves that the GIS-STS module has a high content validity and is therefore suitable for implementation in secondary schools for Geography Form two students.
AbstrakKemajuan teknologi dalam Pembelajaran dan Pemudahcaraan (PdPc) abad ke-21 amat dititikberatkan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) selaras dengan Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia 2013-2025. Senario kini, mata pelajaran Geografi di Malaysia semakin terpinggir khususnya bagi peringkat Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) dan minat pelajar terhadap mata pelajaran ini turut semakin berkurang. Justeru, penggunaan Geographic Information System (GIS) dalam PdPc Geografi dilihat sebagai satu wadah baharu dalam meningkatkan minat pelajar terhadap mata pelajaran Geografi di sekolah. Dalam kajian ini reka bentuk penyelidikan eksperimen tulen digunakan yang melibatkan Kumpulan Eksperimen (KE); dengan intervensi teknologi geospatial dan Kumpulan Kawalan (KK); dengan kaedah konvensional dalam PdPc digunakan. Kajian ini turut menguji keberkesanan penggunaan GIS berasaskan modul GIS-KBR dalam meningkatkan minat para pelajar terhadap mata pelajaran Geografi. Hasil analisis ANCOVA satu hala pada aras signifikan .05 menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan signifikan skor ujian pasca bagi pemboleh ubah minat. Hasil dapatan turut menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan bagi ujian pasca antara kumpulan KE dan KK. Tuntasnya, hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa pelaksanaan aktiviti GIS berasaskan modul GIS-KBR ini meningkatkan minat dalam kalangan pelajar Geografi berdasarkan pembuktian tahap minat kumpulan eksperimen yang lebih tinggi berbanding dengan kumpulan kawalan.Kata kunci: geografi, GIS, modul GIS-KBR, minat pelajar, PdPc abab ke 21, teknologi geospatial GEOGRAFIA Online TM Malaysian Journal of Society and Space 15 issue 4 (64-79) AbstractThe 21st century technology
