Impak tahap keyakinan pelajar terhadap pencapaian ujian makmal dalam pelaksanaan makmal kendiri bagi kursus asas pengaturcaraan

Abstract

Lab test is a benchmark to test students’ proficiency in understanding the courses that have labs component in programming. This study was undertaken to examine the relationship between students’ confident level and the lab test achievement in autonomous learning lab for programming course. The objectives of this research discusses on (i) relationship between students’ confident level and lab test achievement, (ii) students’ confident level in facing the lab test, (iii) student’s achievement in lab test. This research has been done to year one, semester one session 2013/2014 for basic programming course, TK1114 at the Faculty of Technology and Information Science (FTSM), Bangi. 162 year one students responded to the online questionnaire. This research is a quantitative research that used Pre-Test and Post-Test experimental research design. Students need to respond to the online questionnaire right after they completed the lab test. Data had been analyzed using IBM SPSS version 22. The results show that (i) there is no significant relationship between students’ confident level and the lab test achievement for both Pre-Test and Post-Test. The Pearson correlation statistic shows the p-value for the Pre-Test is 0.543 and 0.687 for the Post-Test (p>0.05). Meanwhile, the result for (ii) students’ confident level has shown an increment for the mean score Pre-Test (4.24) to Post-Test (4.56) and (iii) lab test achievement has shown an increment from the Pre-Test (6.01) to Post-Test (7.17). T-Test has been used to analyze both students’ confident level and student lab test achievement. Further research will be undertaken to assess student interest in the content of learning and teaching modules on-line to help increase student achievement and interest in programming.
