Student Survey

survey 1 , 2 data from MGS 2020 total 1 + 2 classes estimated number of students (44 , 46) responses.

typical classroom setting where the anonymous (photo blurred) teacher skillfully explains the learning tasks using https://sg.iwant2study.org/ospsg/index.php/922

typical classroom setting where the anonymous students are each working on their ChromeBook to learn by doing chemistry. this is far better than students working on Google Slides and trying to fit in the electrons on non simulation medium, only getting feedback on the accuracy after the teacher manually marked each students' assigned google slide prepared by the teacher. https://sg.iwant2study.org/ospsg/index.php/922

What do you like about the lesson? (For example, was the lesson successful in helping you to learn the concepts? In what way was the simulation helpful? Did it arouse your interest? Please give more details.)

1. It was successful in helping me learn the basic concepts but it did not give me a very clear understanding of the concept. I was still left with questions and doubts. It was a unique and new way of learning in the classroom. noted, Video Tutorial will be ready after march holidays.
2. Something new. No need to check the periodic table. There are other compounds not tested available. The emoji is cute.
3. It was helpful to visualise the concepts. 
4. the lesson was successful in helping me to learn the concepts. the simulation was helpful. It arouse my interest.
5. it is interesting and can help me learn independently.

32. The answers are not given on the first wrong attempt, we can continue to try to get to the correct answer.
33. The simulation made the locations of the electrons clearer
34. I like that it gives the number of electrons that the user has to use and that the user does not need to refer to the periodic table to do this simulation, increasing interest and ease in doing this while learning something.
35. It was a refreshing change. Instead of drawing the diagrams on paper, I could move the electrons online.
36. it is very entertaining and educative
37. the visuals helped me!
38. it was interesting

40. The lesson was very fun and engaging. The simulation allowed me to better understand the concepts.
41. It was successful in helping me learn the concepts as it provided a solution and explanation when i didn't know how to do the question.There were also many question which allowed me to try out different questions or different levels of difficulty,allowing me to practice more.
42. it was fun
43. The hints especially helped me to understand the concept
44. I can understand the structures more clearly.
 was quite fun to drag and drop instead of drawing for once. It's also much more convenient as i can check my work immediately instead of waiting for the teacher to come around
45. The simulation was easy to use and was a good reference for doing the worksheet as well !
46. the simulation was helpful in giving model answers for me to understand covalent bonding better

71. the platform made learning the dot cross diagram more interesting
72. it helped me figure out the answer in my own.
73. the lesson helped to make my understanding of covalent bonding clearer
74. I liked the idea of figuring it out yourself and then having a check answer button this app is great!
75. It made visualising the covalent bonds and the orientation of electrons easier.
76. ー
77. it is fun to drag the electrons around
78. it gives me many chances for trial and error without having to continuously erase my mistakes

80. The simulation was easy to use and allowed me to understand how to draw dot and cross diagrams as it told me what was wrong when I made a mistake
81. I learnt how foreign electrons worked, and it was interesting to see try doing the different questions. It was also easier as the simulation already had the electrons shells put out for you.
82. It helped me to visualise the concept better
83. I liked the lesson because it was more engaging and hands-on, and it also helped me to learn the concepts. It is also better than having to draw out a dot and cross diagram myself.
84. It helped me to see the chemical bonds visually which was very helpful
85. It allowed me to easily move each electron around before writing it on my paper thus it was easier and neater. Furthermore, because of the difference colours it is easier to see the electrons
86. The simulation made it easier for me to visualise the atoms, aiding me in figuring out the configuration of different compounds.
87. It was successful in conveying the concepts of chemical bonding. It allowed me to explore the concept better.
88. It allowed me to understand the concept better as it gave an explanation when providing the answer which was more comprehensive then just searching for the answer online.
89. it was interactive and helped me to understand the lesson better
90. I think it helps me understand where I went wrong and teaches me how to correct my mistakes before I write it down and have to go through the trouble of changing it over again and again.
91. it was fun and easy to use!
92. kept me engaged and aroused my interest
93. it was successful because it was fun and interesting

In what way can the lesson or the simulation be improved? (For example, what features in the simulation would you like to change or add?)
