| description | Design and Technology (DST) were introduced
at the Primary School as more emphasis is being placed on
technical and vocational skills nowadays. However, the use
of conventional teaching methods and the lack of teaching
aids have triggered students’ low achievement in the DST
subject. This study was conducted to identify the effect of
using DST learning portal on students’ achievement
compared with using conventional teaching method. A DST
learning portal was developed and used as an independent
variable in this study. A total of 32 year 4 students from a
Primary School were selected as respondents by purposive
sampling method. This study is quasi-experimental research
which uses pre and post-test as an instrument to identify the
achievement of students before and after using different
learning methods in the DST subject. In addition,
questionnaire and observation checklist were used to collect
students' perceptions about the usability of DST learning
portal. The data were analysed descriptively by using
quantitative approach. The results of the independent t-test
showed that there was no significant difference in pre-test
achievement between treatment group (M = 23.8, SD = 12.6)
and control group (M = 25.0, SD = 14.1); t (30) = 0.64, p =
0.79, while Mann Whitney U test results showed that the
post-test achievement of treatment group was higher than the
control group after using DST learning portal (U = 7.500, p
= .000). The level of usability of the learning portal was very
high according to the score obtained from the questionnaire
(88.15%) and the checklist (84%). These findings show that
the DST learning portal has a very high level of usability and
the use of portal can significantly improve students’
achievement in DST subject. |
