Effects of cognitive styles and structures of web-based instruction program upon learning achievement in foundation of computer for education course for undergraduate students, Faculty of Education, Chulalongkorn University
Abstract:
To study effects of cognitive styles and structures of web-based instruction program upon learning achievement in foundation of computer for education course for undergraduate students, Faculty of Education, Chulalongkorn University. The samples were randomized from 186 faculty of education Chulalongkorn University first year students registered in the foundation of computer for education course, academic year 2000. The samples of this research were 90 students examined by the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT), and were randomized from students with Field Dependent group and students with Field Independent group, each group consisted of 45 students. Samples were divided into six experimental groups, each group consisted of 15 students as follows: 1) students with FD studied from sequential structure program 2) students with FD studied from hierarchical structure program 3) students with FD studied from web structure program 4) students with FI studied from sequential structure program 5) students with FI studied from hierarchical structure program 6) students with FI studied from web structure program. The data were analyzed by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The findings were as follows: 1. There was no statistical significant difference at .05 level on learning achievement of students with different cognitive styles learning from web-based instruction program. 2. There was no statistical significant differnce at .05 level on learning achievement of students learning from different structures of web-based instruction program. 3. There was no statistical significant difference at .05 level on learning achievement of students with different cognitive styles learning from different structures of web-based instruction program.
