The Development and Usability of BITADA Kit for Linear Motion Topics among Physics Trainee Teachers

Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop a BITADA kit for the Linear Motion topic for secondary school level and to determine its usability from the perspective of Physics trainee teachers. This study uses a developmental research design by applying the ADDIE model. The population of this study was for seventh and eighth semester of Physics education in students from one of the public universities in Malaysia. Forty participants were selected as samples using the simple random sampling technique. Two research instruments were used, namely the expert validation form and usability questionnaire adapted from the USE Questionnaire. The data were collected via Google Form and analyzed descriptively using mean (M) and standard deviation (SD). The findings of this study showed that the expert agreement percentage for face validity and content validity were 96.0% and 98.3%, respectively. Meanwhile, the usability of this BITADA kit is at a high agreement level with a mean score of 4.63. The four constructs that represent usability namely usefulness, ease of use, ease of learning and satisfaction are at a good level with the mean score of 4.68 (SD = 0.345), 4.49 (SD = 0.327), 4.62 (SD = 0.344) and 4.73 (SD = 0.337) respectively. In conclusion, the research has successfully developed a validated BITADA kit that can be used as a teaching and learning kit. For implication, the BITADA kit can also increase student’s motivation to learn the Linear Motion topic in an interesting environment.
