The Development of an Online Learning Lesson on Safe Information Technology Usage Integrated with Cooperative Learning Using the Think–Pair–Share Technique for Grade 6 Students

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to: 1) develop an online lesson on information technology safety integrated with cooperative learning using the Think-Pair-Share technique; 2) determine the efficiency of the developed online lesson; 3) compare students’ learning achievement before and after learning; and 4) evaluate students’ satisfaction towards the developed online lesson. The sample consisted of 20 Grade 6 students at Anuban Kamphaeng Saen School, obtained by cluster random sampling using the classroom as the sampling unit via the lottery method. The research instruments included the developed online lesson, cooperative learning lesson plans using the Think-Pair-Share technique, quality assessment forms for content and technical aspects, a learning achievement test, worksheets, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, efficiency criteria (E1/E2), and t-test for dependent samples. The result of this research revealed that: 1) The overall quality of the developed online lesson integrated with cooperative learning using the Think-Pair-Share technique was at the highest level (𝑥̅ = 4.88, S.D. = 0.32). Specifically, the content quality was at the highest level (𝑥̅ = 4.90, S.D. = 0.30), and the technical quality was at the highest level (𝑥̅ = 4.86, S.D. = 0.35); 2) The efficiency (E1/E2) of the developed online lesson was 89.17/89.33, which was higher than the established 80/80 criteria; 3) The students' post-test learning achievement was significantly higher than their pre-test achievement at the .05 statistical level; and 4) The students' satisfaction towards the developed online lesson was at the highest level (𝑥̅ = 4.90, S.D. = 0.36).
