Development of Learning Achievement in Technology (Computing Science) for Grade 8 Students at Tessaban 3 (Pracha Yindee) School Using Digital Lessons Integrated with Gamification

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to: 1) develop digital lessons for the Technology Subject (Computing Science); 2) evaluate the quality of the content, as well as the technical and methodological aspects of the digital lesson development; and 3) compare students’ learning achievement with the criterion of 80 percent of the total score. The sample consisted of 30 Grade 8 students, selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included lesson plans, digital lessons, Blooket online games, a content quality evaluation form, a technical and methodological quality evaluation form, and a learning achievement test. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and a one-sample t-test. The results revealed that: 1) the digital lessons for the Technology Subject (Computing Science) comprised three units: 1.1) components of a computer system, 1.2) principles of computer system operation, and 1.3) application software; 2) the quality of the content and the technical and methodological aspects of the digital lesson development were at a very good level; and 3) students’ learning achievement was significantly higher than the 80 percent criterion at the .05 level of significance.
