DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER ACTIVITY PACKAGES BY USING PROJECT BASE LEARNING, FIVE STEPS AND COACHING AFFECTING MATTAYOM SUKSA 2 STUDENTS’ CREATIVITY, SKILLS OF COMPUTER PROJECTS, AND LEARNINGACHIEVEMENT

Abstract

The purposes of this study were: 1) to develop computer activity packages by using Project Base Learning, 5 STEPs and Coaching to contain the efficiency of 80/80, 2) to compare the students’ creativity possessed before and after learning through the computer activity packages constructed by using Project Base Learning, 5 STEPs and Coaching, 3) to compare the students’ skills of computer projects base on the established efficiency criteria, 4) to compare the students’ learning achievements gained before and after learning through the computer activity packages constructed by using Project Base Learning, 5 STEPs and Coaching, 5) to compare creativity, skills of computer projects, and learning achievement of students whose technological abilities varied (high, moderate and low). The subjects were 28 Mattayomsuksa 2 students who were studying in the second semester of 2017 at BanNatongsaharajutis under the Office of Sakon Nakhon Primary Educational Service Area 1. They were obtained through cluster random sampling. The instruments employed included 1) the computer activity packages constructed by using Project Base Learning, 5 STEPs and Coaching, 2) the test to measure the students’ creativity, 3) the form to examine the students’ skills of computer projects, 4) learning achievement test, 5) the form to assess the students’ technological ability. The statistics employed for data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, E1/E2, t-test (One Samples and Dependent Samples), One-way ANOVA, One-way MANCOVA, and One-way ANCOVA. The study revealed these results: 1. The computer activity packages by using Project Base Learning, 5 STEPs and Coaching contained the efficiency of 83.27/84.57 which was higher than the set criteria of 80/80.
2. After learning through the computer activity packages constructed by using Project Base Learning, 5 STEPs and Coaching, the students’ creativity was significantly higher than that of before at .05 statistical level. 3. After learning through the computer activity packages constructed by using Project Base Learning, 5 STEPs and Coaching, the students’ skills of computer projects were higher than 70 percent. These skills were significantly higher than those of before at .05 statistical level. 4. After learning through the computer activity packages constructed by using Project Base Learning, 5 STEPs and Coaching, the students’ learning achievement was significantly higher than that of before at .05 statistical level. 5. After learning through the computer activity packages constructed by using Project Base Learning, 5 STEPs and Coaching, the students whose technological abilities differed significantly demonstrated different creativity and learning achievement when analyzing the data by using One-way MANCOVA. When employing One-way ANOVA to analyze the students’ creativity and learning achievements, it was found that these variables also significantly varied at .05 statistical levels. When adopting Scheffe to gain post hoc testing, these results were obtained: 5.1 The students whose technological ability was high had significantly higher creativity than those whose technological abilities were moderate and low at .05 statistical levels. 5.2 The students whose technological ability was high had significantly higher skills of computer projects than those whose technological abilities were moderate and low at .05 statistical levels. 5.3 The students whose technological ability was high had significantly higher learning achievement than those whose technological abilities were moderate and low at .05 statistical levels.
