Transcript 2: Conversation was made during students’ discussion activity.
Researcher : “Sodium and magnesium are metal. So…”
Student 1 : “They have giant covalent structure”
Researcher : “No, they don’t. They have giant metallic structure. Why did you
said it?”
Student1 : “sorry, I have been mistaken, I don’t remember the structure”

Diagram 5.7 Students’ conversation during discussion
(Target group : 1) 10 April 2019

The transcript of conversation in Diagram 5.7 shows that the student did not remember
the structure of the element. The conversation happened in the classroom during group
discussion. This shows that although the teacher had just taught the lesson and students
were given materials as reference, they were still unable to recall the structure of the
element learnt.

5.2.3 Pre-test Analysis
Table 5.1 shows the pre-test analysis on the five students involved in the study. The
students answers where analysed based on 14 points.
