摘要：ChemDataLog Module is developed to elevate chemistry achievement among preparatory course science students. ASSURE learning model was chosen for the researchers to design chemistry practical that aided by Microcomputer Based Laboratory (MBL). 5E Model of Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) was the learning strategy applied in using the module during chemistry practical class. A need assessment has been conducted among 170 Year Two students and seven Chemistry teachers of that preparatory course. Findings from the need assessment revealed that Organic Chemistry, Chemical Bonding, and Acid and Base were amongst three most difficult chemistry topics to learn perceived by the students. Meanwhile Organic Chemistry, Acid and Base, and Chemical Bonding were amongst three most difficult topics from teachers’ perspectives. Besides, Electrochemistry, Acid and Base, and Thermochemistry were amongst three suitable topics to incorporate MBL from teachers’ opinions. Therefore, Acid and Base, and Thermochemistry topics were selected for this module. This module comprised of six practical units. The content of this module was validated by six chemistry experts while the appropriateness of the language used was validated by two language experts. Feedbacks from the experts showed that they have a high agreement on the module’s content validity. Meanwhile, the reliability of the module was determined from the questionnaires given to 64 students who used the module. Findings demonstrated that ChemDataLog Module has a high module reliability. This module is ready to be used as a learning instruction in elevating chemistry achievement among preparatory course science students.
