Abstract:
This research proposes a mobile interactive multimedia (MIM) system that allows students to interact with various simulations and animations of electrical phenomena and to apply their knowledge to solve problems in electrical circuits. MIM is a tool that enhances the students' conceptual understanding, correcting their misconceptions, and strengthening their problem-solving skills in electrical circuits, according to the students' knowledge type of transition in learning. The MIM was accessible through an Android-based device and was evaluated using a research and development (R&D) method. The Three Tier-Test and Multiple Misconception Revealing Test assessed students' conceptual comprehension and problem-solving ability. The study involved 53 prospective science teachers enrolled in the Electrical and Magnetism course in third-semester; 27 in the experimental group and 26 in the control group. The findings showed that the MIM met the validity, practicality, and effectiveness criteria. Therefore, the MIM was a valid, practical, and effective tool for enhancing the students’ conceptual understanding, correcting their misconceptions, and strengthening their problem-solving skills in electrical circuits, according to the students’ knowledge type of transition in learning.
