Abstract :
This research is about the development of the 3D courseware named as 3D-Atomic Cubic as a tool for teaching and learning chemistry subject. This 3D-Atomic Cubic courseware will contain all multimedia elements used to attract students´ attention for learning the contents. This courseware is specifically developed for a topic in chemistry subject for student of Mechanical Engineering in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). The questionnaire is the instrument used in this research to determine the problem statement. Based on the questionnaires, Properties of Matter topic is identify as the most difficult topic. Because of this topic need students to visualizing the arrangement of the atom in cubic cell, one of their problems facing when learning this topic is, student cannot imagine the arrangement of the atom easily. This research is focusing on delivery approach of learning by using three dimensional (3D) approaches in study Chemistry subject. Advantages from this research can be benefits to students, lecturers, education industry and high institution and also to the public. For evaluation on the effectiveness of 3D-Atomic Cubic Courseware, 52 of Mechanical Engineering students from UTeM is involved and they are divided by two which are Conventional and Experimental Group. From the analysis of the result, both of conventional and experiment group showed an improvement but the student who use 3D-Atomic Cubic courseware get higher mark. This shows that 3D-Atomic Cubic courseware can be used as teaching aid material in classroom since it shows those students who use the courseware get better result.
