Need analysis of web model based on project based learning to enhancing history knowledge among form one students

Abstract

History subject consists of many facts, concepts and difficult to understand. This has become a cause for many students to fail in History subject. Project-based learning (PBL) is an appropriate method to improve the knowledge of History among students. Project-based learning (PBL) is an approach based on constructivist learning theory, learning through experience and constructionism theory. Although the PBL has several advantages, there are still many deficiencies in implementation. Lack of PBL can be overcome by the use of technology. The use of effective technology as an integrated part of the pedagogical process is found to help students who are less skilled and build strong knowledge in project-based learning environments. Modern digital technology is the ultimate catalyst for students who are comfortable engaging in the design and development of their projects as they can document the whole process and easily share their creations in digital format. There are no clear guidance on the use of web model based on project based learning to enhancing History knowledge among students. Thus, in this research, the issues in web model based on project based learning development and strategies are being investigated. he research method focuses on following stages: requirement analysis, design and development including alpha testing by validation from expert and beta testing which is user acceptances test to support efficiency and effectiveness of the courseware for further improvement. The result from the alpha and beta testing indicates a positive feedback on this research.
