3.0 OBJECTIVES

3.1 General Objective

The general objective of this study is to improve the skills to explain the trend of melting
point of elements in Period 2 and 3.

3.2 Specific Objectives

There are four objectives that have been targeted which are:
3.2.1 Assist students to identify and detect the points of elaboration
3.2.2 Improve students’ skill to correlate points of elaboration systematically
3.2.3 Increase students’ achievement scores to explain the trend of melting point
3.2.4 Apply “Teknik Kecam” to explain the trend of melting point of elements in Period 2
and 3.

4.0 TARGET GROUP

This research target group consists of five chemistry students from 6 Unisza consisting of
a male student and four female students. The group of students in this study is a group of
students with moderate achievement. Nevertheless, the students are committed, focused,
and has a good group relationship. The use of “Teknik Kecam” will help guide students to
master the skills they need to explain the melting point of elements in Period 2 and 3.

5.0 RESEARCH IMPLEMENTATION

A preliminary review of problems is implemented to identify problems in detail and help
plan activities that should be done to overcome problems that arise.

5.1 Preliminary Review of Problems

The preliminary review is based on observations, unstructured interview, and document
analysis involving a pre-test. The problems identified are then addressed through planned
action.
