Nâng cao sự tham gia của học sinh trong chủ đề “Phản ứng hoá học”: một nghiên cứu với truyện tranh khoa học
Abstract
Student engagement is one of the crucial factors in the learning process and in enhancing the quality of teaching. This study evaluates the effectiveness of science comics in enhancing student engagement in learning the “Chemical Reactions” topic within the Grade 8 Science curriculum. This study was conducted with 160 students, divided into a control group and an experimental group. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through pre- and post-experiment surveys and semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that science comics improved students' cognitive and behavioral engagement, while emotional engagement showed no significant change. The findings highlight the potential of science comics in enhancing teaching effectiveness and contributing to the innovation of teaching methods in science education. Furthermore, discussions and suggestions for expanding the application of science comics to other scientific topics and subjects are also presented.
Tóm tắt
Sự tham gia của học sinh là một trong những yếu tố quan trọng trong quá trình học tập và nâng cao chất lượng dạy học. Nghiên cứu này được thực hiện nhằm đánh giá hiệu quả của truyện tranh khoa học trong việc cải thiện sự tham gia của học sinh trong học tập chủ đề “Phản ứng hóa học” môn Khoa học tự nhiên 8. Nghiên cứu được thực hiện trên 160 học sinh, chia thành nhóm đối chứng và nhóm thực nghiệm. Dữ liệu định lượng và định tính thu thập thông qua bảng hỏi trước và sau thực nghiệm kết hợp phỏng vấn bán cấu trúc. Kết quả cho thấy truyện tranh khoa học giúp cải thiện sự tham gia nhận thức và hành vi của học sinh, trong khi khía cạnh cảm xúc chưa có sự thay đổi đáng kể. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy tiềm năng của truyện tranh khoa học trong nâng cao hiệu quả dạy học và góp phần đổi mới về phương pháp dạy học ở lĩnh vực giáo dục khoa học tự nhiên. Bên cạnh đó, một số bàn luận và đề xuất mở rộng ứng dụng truyện tranh khoa học cho các chủ đề khoa học và môn học khác cũng được đề cập.
