Action Research on Learning with iPad
Every year all MCKK teachers need to do Action Research. From 2022 and the following year, all MCKK teachers are required to conduct Action Research using an iPad for learning. Along with the goal of becoming an ADS school, teachers need to improve digital learning-based instructional design to enable students to explore their real potential.
Highlights
Use the ‘Slo-mo’ function on the iPad camera app to understand Free Fall Motion by two objects of different mass.
Based on the teacher’s teaching experience for Free Fall subtopic in Cikgu Yanti’s Physics class, students are somewhat confused in determining which object will fall first when 2 objects of different mass are released at the same height. Students made various assumptions based on their logic by relating mass factors that will influence the time taken for an object to fall. They cannot understand clearly through the teacher’s explanation in theory. Accordingly the teacher thinks of a simpler method that can prove the theoretical findings that is stated in the textbook. Through ‘slow mo’ function in this Camera app, it greatly helps students’ understanding of the topic Free Fall.

Apply the concept of fermentation to produce food products through project-based learning using iMovie.
Students have less exposure in conducting project-based learning since the pandemic.

Cikgu Rajananthini implemented this PBL where students had to produce a food product using yeast and produce a folio on market products that use yeast.

clearly between the methods of Caeser Sifer, Pigpen Sifer, Columnar Transporsition, Reil Fence Sifer. Students are unable to adapt a given problem to the type of thinking technique correctly. Students memorize a lot and lack understanding of a given problem keyword. A lesson plan was designed to use the Apple Notes app in the iPad to teach learning standards 1.1.1.
