Web Pro-Mc Physics as a support tool for improving physics problem solving skills

Problem solving is one of the focus of the Malaysia education plan (PPPM 2013–2025) because the achievement of students in TIMMS and PISA was found to be below average. This paper aims to discuss the development of a web-based module named Pro-Mc Physics to help students solve problems using their metacognitive skills. The problem solving strategies which will be used to develop the module is based on a study by Marlina et al (2014). ADDIE instructional design will also be used in developing the module. In addition, several learning theories and strategies will be considered in the construction of this web-based module. The physics problems used for the module will be adapted from context rich problems. In conclusion, Web Pro-Mc Physics is developed to be a support tool for improving physics problem solving skills among students.
