To Investigate Students’ Learning Experience by Re-designing a University Science Laboratory Subject Using Alternative Assessment and Digital Technology

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant changes in education, including the shift to online or hybrid formats for science laboratory sessions. This study utilized Learning Analytics (LA) from 2021/2 to 2023/4 academic year to examine how science students' learning patterns were affected during and after COVID isolation. The findings indicated that a selected laboratory subject, which was re-designed using group project as alternative assessments, can beneficial for student learning and engagement. The study found that students' performance was higher in the F2F mode of delivery and alternative assessment methods enhanced students' learning experience and understanding. Additionally, preliminary findings suggest that around 71% of students found the GenAI-empowered videos were helpful in understanding the subject matter and enhanced students’ learning experience. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore their implications for science education in a post-pandemic context.
