The study also aims to examine the effectiveness of power point in forecasting approach especially in econometric chapter. A total of 39 students from part 4 Diploma in Statistics , UiTM Cawangan Kelantan were selected as sample. The interactive learning multimedia of time series analysis course was successfully developed and named as ‘e-powtimesanalysis’. This ‘e-powtimesanalysis’ gives significant and valuable contributions to statistics educational practice and knowledge in the area of time series anaysis in the context of Malaysian Institution of Higher Learning. The findings also reveals that the students performance improved by 15.69% when teaching and learning process integrated the interactive approach. The implication of this study suggested that the ‘e -powtimesanalysis’ can be used to enhance the quality of teaching and learning process in statistics education and simultanoeusly increase the students’ performance in times series and forecasting subject. Keywords: interactive learning, performance, time series 1. Introduction Introduction to Forecasting Analysis is an elective course for Diploma in Statistics and Diploma in Actuarial Science students. Forecasting method in this course covers Univariate Modelling and Causal Modelling (Econometric). Econometric is a set of tools to confront theory with real-world data including Bank data and Oil data. Econometric method also can be used in Engineering Sciences, Medical Sciences, Geoscience and others. Econometric Modelling requires students to extract useful information about important economic issues from the available data and analyze using statistical techniques (Brockwell & Davis, 2016). However, the average achievement of students in this topic is always an issue. There is a widespread concern in Malaysia education about the quality of learning experienced by students (Lim, Nagendralingan, Sopia, Noor Shah, Rajendran, & Idris, 2012). Mostly, the teaching and learning process is conducted by conventional education system dominated by lecture-centered known as “knowledge transmission activities”. It produces a student that passively receiving information which only involves recall skills and simple understanding of learning. Consequently, students are more likely to become a fact-memorizer rather than a problem-solver. Lecturer at higher institutions incorporated only passive teaching method in teaching of the subject matter (Nor'ain, 2015). Supposedly, mathematics/statistics should be the subject that trains students’ mind to think logically and systematically and develop students’ creativity (Munirah & Santi, 2014). brought to you by CORE View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk provided by Universiti Teknologi MARA Institutional Repository
