The effectiveness of research-based learning with computer programming and highly interactive cloud classroom (HIC) elaboration in improving higher order thinking skills in solving a combination of wave functions

Abstract

The aim of this research was to compare the HIC (Highly interactive classroom) system with a traditional method of teaching superposition of wave functions courses especially. In order to examine it's learning effectiveness across three dimensional, knowledge, comprehension, and application. The highly interactive classroom which collaborated with proof mathematics formulation, computer programming, and cloud classroom. The study followed a pretest, posttest, and delayed posttest with the quasi-experimental design. A total of 66 students (aged 18-19 years) divided into experimental group and control group. Experimental group 33 student (10 males and 23 females) was utilizing of cloud classroom and 33 students (12 males and 21 females) in the control group. Pretest, and posttest were evaluated by using inferential statistics t-test. The significant value of t-test score is -0.817 (p < 0.05) means there are significant of post-test score between control class and experiment class. The result indicated that student on an experimental group that teaching utilizing collaboration of computer programming, and highly interactive classroom better than control group was teaching by traditional method in post-test and delayed posttest across three learning dimensions. According to these result. The collaboration of mathematics formulation, computer programming, and HIC (highly interactive cloud classroom) is recommended to be a strategy for teaching on the combination of wave function topic.
