Abstract

Integration of dynamic visualization technologies in the representation of chemical concepts can help students who are struggling to study and improve student performance. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how dynamic visualization affects the representation of electrochemical subjects. The experimental approach utilized in this work has a matching pretest-posttest control group design and a quasi-experimental design. The research sample consisted of 102 mechanical engineering students who were divided into two groups, namely the control group and the treatment group. While the control group was taught identical chemical ideas using text modules, the experimental group was taught electrochemical principles using text modules coupled with visualization technology. To ensure students' initial performance, a pretest was given to both the control group and the experimental group prior to therapy. A post-test was given to the experimental group and the control group after therapy. Test for differences between the control group and the treatment group using statistical analysis and an independent t test with a significance level of 95%. The analysis's findings revealed a significant difference (p<0.005) between the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group scored higher (82.04) than the control group (73.71) based on the post-test average value. It may be possible to address students' learning challenges and improve student accomplishment by using dynamic visualization technologies in the representation of chemical ideas.
