Abstract

The objectives of this research were: (1) to develop an interactive computer game for marine environmental conservation, (2) to evaluate the quality of the interactive computer game, and (3) to investigate students’ satisfaction with the game. The sample group consisted of 30 second-year undergraduate students majoring in Animation, Game, and Digital Media in the Faculty of Science and Technology at Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University, selected through purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study included the interactive computer game, an expert evaluation form on game design and content, and a student satisfaction questionnaire. The data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The research findings showed that the quality of the interactive computer game for marine environmental conservation was at a high level (x ̅=4.10 S.D.=0.34). Similarly, the students’ satisfaction with the game was also at a high level (x ̅=4.16 S.D.=0.42).
