Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to develop online lessons for the Technology (Computing Science) course for Grade 9 students; 2) to compare students' academic achievement before and after learning with the online lessons; and 3) to study students' satisfaction towards the online lessons. The sample consisted of 23 Grade 9 students, selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included: 1) online lessons; 2) media evaluation forms for content and technical aspects; 3) an academic achievement test; and 4) a student satisfaction questionnaire. Statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean (𝑥̅), standard deviation (S.D.), and dependent t-test. The research findings revealed that: 1) the quality of the online lessons as evaluated by experts in terms of content and media production techniques was at the highest level (𝑥̅ = 4.50, S.D. = 0.46); 2) the students' academic achievement after the lessons was significantly higher than before at the .05 level; and 3) the overall student satisfaction towards the online lessons was at the highest level (𝑥̅ = 4.96, S.D. = 0.13).
