Abstract

This research aimed to: (1) evaluate the effectiveness of an e-Learning platform integrated with Demonstration-Based Learning in the Science and Technology subject area, focusing on "Scratch Programming" for Grade 6 students at Tessaban 5 Phrapathomchedi School, Nakhon Pathom Province; (2) compare students' learning achievement before and after the implementation of the developed e-Learning with Demonstration-Based Learning; and (3) assess students' satisfaction with the learning management using the developed e-Learning combined with the Demonstration method. The sample consisted of 20 Grade 6 students from Tessaban 5 Phrapathomchedi School, selected through cluster sampling. The research instruments included a Demonstration-Based Learning management plan, an e-Learning platform, pre-test and post-test achievement scores, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The statistical methods employed for data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and a dependent t-test. The research findings indicated that: (1) the e-Learning platform integrated with Demonstration-Based Learning in the Science and Technology subject area on "Scratch Programming" for Grade 6 students at Tessaban 5 Phrapathomchedi School demonstrated an effectiveness index of 81.88/80.00; (2) post-learning achievement scores were significantly higher than pre-learning scores at the .05 significance level; and (3) students' overall satisfaction with the learning management utilizing the e-Learning platform with Demonstration-Based Learning was at the highest level.
