Development of Online Lessons on Technology Using the Cooperative Learning with Think-pair-share Techniques for Grade 7 Students at Wat Khaowang School (Saeng Chuang Suwanich)

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to: 1) develop the online lessons on technology of Grade 7 students, 2) evaluate the quality of the online lessons, 3) investigate the efficiency of the online lessons using the cooperative learning with think-pair-share techniques, 4) compare students’ learning achievement before and after learning through the online lessons using the cooperative learning with think-pair-share techniques, and 5) study students’ satisfaction towards the online lessons using the cooperative learning with think-pair-share techniques. The sample group consisted of 40 Grade 7 students at Wat Khaowang School (Saeng Chuang Suwanich), derived by cluster random sampling. The research instruments included: 1) lesson plans using the cooperative learning with think-pair-share techniques, 2) online lessons, 3) the assessment form of the content, 4) the assessment form of the techniques and methodology, 5) learning achievement tests, and 6) a student satisfaction evaluation form. Statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and dependent t-test. The research findings were as follows: 1) the online lessons consisted of three units: 1.1 technology and humans, 1.2 engineering design process, and 1.3 the evolution of technology, 2) the online lessons were qualified in content at the highest level, and in technique and methodology at the highest level, 3) the efficiency of the online lessons using the cooperative learning with think-pair-share techniques was 88.25/88.83, which was higher than the set criteria, 4) the students’ learning achievement after learning through the online lessons using the cooperative learning with think-pair-share techniques was significantly higher than that of before learning at the .05 level, and 5) overall, the students were satisfied with the online lessons using the cooperative learning with think-pair-share techniques at the highest level.
