| description | This study was conducted in order to identify whether there is a significant effect of partial PowerPoint handouts on student attention, recall and performance. This study is important as PowerPoint is the most common method of instruction in all universities in Malaysia. Some of the problems of the traditional lecture method is the lack of student attention which then influences recall and performance. The quasi-experimental method succeeded in identifying the effectiveness of the partial handouts compared to the current practice of full handouts effect on students’ attention, recall and performance. The research was conducted based on the Solomon Four group design. A total of 301 participants were used in this study. The participants were mainly female undergraduates of a public institution of higher learning in Malaysia. The first group which is the experimental pre-test and post-test group consisted of 81 students. The second group which is the experimental post-test group consisted of 72 students. The third group which is the control pretest & post-test group consisted of 34 students and the fourth group which is the control post-test group consisted of 70 students.The results were analysed using MANOVA. The most significant effect of the experimental method was on the attention with significant effect in all four experimental and control groups. The effect on recall was mixed and the effect on Performance was minimally significant. This study has established the effectiveness of partial PowerPoint handouts on undergraduate students’ attention. Further studies can be done to investigate the effect of partial PowerPoint handouts on student recall and performance. As a conclusion, this study has fulfilled the intended objectives of identifying the effective use of PowerPoint handouts as a mode of instruction in higher education. |
