The Development of Online Lessons in Technology (Computing Science) for Grade 6 Students at Wat Wang Taku School (Seri Roengrit Uppatham)

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to: (1) develop an online lesson for the Technology (Computer Science) course for Grade 6 students at Wat Wang Taku (Seri Roengrit Upatham) School; (2) determine the efficiency of the developed online lesson; (3) compare students’ learning achievement before and after learning through the online lesson; and (4) investigate students’ satisfaction with the online lesson. The sample consisted of 15 Grade 6/1 students from Wat Wang Taku (Seri Roengrit Upatham) School, selected by cluster random sampling. The research instruments consisted of: (1) an online lesson for the Computer Science course, (2) a content and technical media quality assessment form, (3) a learning achievement test, and (4) a student satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the dependent samples t-test. The research findings revealed that: (1) the overall quality of the online lesson, as evaluated by experts in content and media production, was at the highest level (𝑥̅ = 4.53, S.D. = 0.57); (2) the efficiency of the online lesson was 81.00/83.00, which met the established criterion of 80/80; (3) the students’ post-test learning achievement (𝑥̅ = 17.60, S.D. = 3.14) was significantly higher than their pre-test learning achievement 𝑥̅ = 12.53, S.D. = 4.50) at the .05 level of statistical significance (t = 7.8748, df = 14, p < .001); and (4) the overall student satisfaction with the online lesson was at a high level (𝑥̅ = 4.43, S.D. = 0.83).
