Abstract:
This study examined the effectiveness of the developed thermodynamics learning packet as a learning instructional innovation to improve prospective science teacher achievement, critical thinking disposition, reflective thinking skills, adaptive learning engagement. This research was descriptive - evaluative research design and one-group pretest-posttest design. The study sample is purposively selected consisted of 30 female students who have difficulties in learning thermodynamics, specifically the nature of heat, ideal gases and laws of thermodynamics. The respondents ages are between 20 - 25 years old. All respondents/subject had no previous experience with the usage of using learning packet applications in thermodynamics learning. The data collection instruments included validated and adapted questionnaires and multiple-choice achievement test. The test results were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The evaluators (physics teachers and physics experts) agreed that developed thermodynamics learning packets are excellent in terms of the content, format, presentation, organization, accuracy, and up-to-date information that conforms to need of the Licensure examination for teachers and syllabus. There is significant difference on the assessment of the two groups of respondents (physics teachers and physics experts) on the level of acceptability of the developed thermodynamics learning packets.
