Abstract

Rapid changes in ongoing Information Technology (IT) education demand improvement in the existing learning modules. This is significantly important for Fundamentals of Computer Science (or Asas Sains Komputer (ASK)), a subject taught in secondary school level to provide basic knowledge and understandings of Computer Science at earlier stage of learning. Realizing its importance, a study was conducted to evaluate design learning module of ASK to increase students interest in Algorithms. Done from teachers perspectives, the study used a qualitative approach by conducting interviews with five experts from educational background in order to validate the design learning module. The results of the study based on the scores and comments given by the experts regarding ASK design learning module are positive. The feedbacks from the research contribute in development of ASK module thus improving students interest and understandings during the learning process. This also helps in enhancing the quality of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education as stated in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025.
