Assessment for Enhancement of the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Physics Equipment and Laboratory Activity: Basis for the Development of a Physics Laboratory Activity Kit
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the enhancement of the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Physics equipment and laboratory activity as the basis for the development of the physics laboratory activity kit to be used in physics classes of high school students. This study used mixed methods. The researcher did the modification on the original DIY Physics equipment constructed by the DepEd-NSTIC to improve the workability of the equipment. We used rating sheets to assess the workability of the improvised DIY Physics equipment and laboratory activity. Rating sheets were designed by the pre-service general science teachers. Enhancements were made to improve the workability of the improvised DIY Physics equipment and laboratory activity and produce enhanced DIY Physics equipment. Results revealed that the improved DIY Physics equipment was workable in its physical feature, ease of manipulation efficiency, accuracy, safety, and appropriateness. The enhanced laboratory activity for the DIY Physics equipment was also workable in terms of its title, introduction, objectives, materials, procedure, questions, layout, spelling and grammar, and time allotment. Therefore, the enhanced DIY Physics equipment and laboratory activity could be used for the development of a Physics laboratory activity kit.
