PowerPoint slides along with the relevant distribution material given to students. Students
can make additional notes if necessary. The lesson slides were loaded with information
required by students. The researcher also made an observations when group activities
were conducted.

Diagram 5.1 shows a sample of lesson slides of Microsoft PowerPoint. Copies were made
for students’ reference. The information in the slide were always improved so that all
learning objectives are achieved. It is noted that issues still arise even though students
have been given adequate teaching materials. In addition, observations are also made
on students' work whether written work or feedback in a Whatsapp application group link.
Through this observation, the researcher was able to directly obtain other issues that affect
students’ learning.

5.1.2 Unstructured interview
The researcher had also interviewed students during group work discussions as well as
conversations via Whatsapp. The responses provided additional feedback on problems
students’ face in learning.

The method of unstructured interview is chosen because this method can identify problems
in depth. Problems are also easier identified as the conversation occurs directly during
class and students are found to be more comfortable in expressing their thoughts verbally.

5.1.3 Document analysis
Document analysis executed was in the form of a pre-test. The pre-test was executed to
identify problems faced by students in detail. The pre-test question given is “Explain the
trend of melting point of Period 3 of elements in terms of structure and bonding”. The pre-
test analysis allows the researcher to recognise details and ratification of student issues.
Thus, problem solving will be easier.
