Abstract

A blog page is a vital tool to share and discuss information in real-world problem-solving. Unfortunately, this potential of blogs rarely was used to facilitate the problem-solving in specific physics topics. This study aimed to describe and examine a blog transformation in improving students' problem-solving. Through 40 university students, this study compared two physics learning sessions using transformation blogs and modules as resources. The results showed the advantages of blog transformation. We also discussed the differences between students' cognitive levels based on the new taxonomy of educational objectives. Instructors can model this study in designing a transformative technology to solve, map, and improve students' problem-solving skills in the semiconductor topic. © 2020 Ekip Buro Makineleri A.
