Exploring the Dimensions of an Effective Web-based Learning Package on Chemical Equilibrium
Abstract: This research study primarily aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the web-based learning package (WBLP) as a supplementary instructional material on Chemical Equilibrium. Online learning effectiveness was evaluated using the two basic determinants: human and design dimensions. Formative and summative evaluation of students’ learning were considered in evaluating the WBLP. The quantitative analyses of data showed that the WBLP possessed the qualities of a good interactive instructional material. Analysis of the pretest and posttest results was done using paired t-test, with post-test results found to be significantly higher than the pre-test results. This study established the five important instructional dimensions of the developed WBLP in Chemical Equilibrium which were: knowledge-centered; learner-centered; assessment-centered; technology-centered; and interactivity-centered.
