Abstract

With the benefits of personalised learning environment in providing individual learning guidance and of guided-inquiry approach for driving students to inquire knowledge in procedural way, this study developed a personalised learning support system, which was based on conceptual learning problems, learning styles, and current understanding information, to provide guided-inquiry learning activities for individual students. The effects of the developed system on secondary school students Physics learning performance and learning attitudes were investigated. It was found that the students significantly outperformed on the developed system and their learning attitudes were positive. While, they showed the need of learning Physics in real context by basing on the developed system. In light of the aforesaid, this paper extends the proposed instructional strategy and addresses the application proposal by using the mobile device through authentic Physics laboratory activities.
