Title:
Learning Chemical Bonding Made Fun and Easy by Using “Dot and Cross” Simulation created from Easy JavaScript Simulation (EJSS) Toolkit
Abstract:
Scientific Modelling has long been used by Chemistry teachers teaching the topic of Chemical Bonding to help students visualise and better understand how atoms bond together through the transfer and sharing of electrons. Over the years, teachers have been using static diagrams of atoms and subsequently moved on to the use of animations or videos. Recent innovative teaching approaches involving the use of “pen and paper” templates or transparencies of templates with magnets and coins to represent atoms or electrons are cumbersome and tedious to prepare. Some teachers even build their own 3-Dimensional physical models of atoms with movable "electron" balls. However, the challenge of moving away from being teacher-centred and engaging the students in a more stimulating way remains.
Using Easy JavaScript Simulation (EJSS) toolkit, a HTML 5 coding tool, we have developed a “Dot and Cross” Simulation for teachers and students which is anchored on Scientific Modelling (explaining complex concepts through relatable models), Constructivism (creating knowledge through experiences), Self-Assessment (gaining mastery through self-correction) and Independent Learning (through self-monitoring with minimal supervision). This simulation app will allow every student with a computing device to have hands-on practice on its fun and intuitive interface. It can be embedded into the MOE Student Learning Space (SLS), hence supporting online and Flipped Classroom learning. We have also incorporated game mechanism (Gamification) so that it is fun for the students and arouses their interest.
In this presentation, we will share our design ideas, coding process and experiences on how to use this app as an effective teaching and learning tool. We will also show results from case studies as well as the feedback received from teachers and students who have used the app and discuss its effectiveness and impact.
