The Development of Online Lessons with Blended Learning between Discussion Method and Inquiry Method in Technology (Computing Science) Subject of Grade 4 Students

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to: 1) develop online lessons with blended learning between discussion method and inquiry method in Technology ( Computing Science) subject of grade 4 students; 2) evaluate the quality of online lessons; 3) find the efficiency of online lessons; 4) compare the learning achievement before and after learning; and 5) study students’ satisfaction. The sample group was 31 grade 4 students at Anuban Kamphaengsaen School, derived by cluster sampling. The research instruments included: 1) lesson plans; 2) online lessons; 3) learning achievement tests; and 4) a student satisfaction evaluation form. The statistics were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and dependent t-test. The research findings were as follows: 1) the online lessons in Technology ( Computing Science) subject of grade 4 students consisted of three units: 1.1) problems solving with algorithm; 1.2) working of algorithm using flowchart; and 1.3) Scratch programming usage; 2) the online lessons were qualified in content, technique, and methodology at the highest level; 3) the effectiveness of the online lessons had efficiency corresponded with criteria of Meguigans was 1.05; 4) the students’ learning achievement after learning was significantly higher than before learning at the .05 level; and 5) overall, the students’ satisfaction was at the highest level.
