Production of a computer assisted instruction package on "our environment" as apart of the increasing life experience course for grade 6 students according to the 1978 primary school curriculum (1990 revision)
Abstract:
This research was experimental, aiming to create computer assisted lessons in
the course Life Experience, “Our Environment” for Grade 6 students, and to find out
the efficiency of computer assisted lessons by comparing the learning achievement of
a trial group and a control group and surveying the opinions of the trial students who
took the computer assisted lesson.
The subjects used in the research were 138 Grade 6 students from
Wisetchaichan school, Wisetchaichan District, Angthong. All the subjects were divided
into two groups: the trial group and the control group of 69 each. The former learned
with the regular teaching method and the computer assisted lesson. The latter learned
from the regular method from teachers. Learning achievement was compared by using
an achievement test. The achievement test results were analyzed using t-test. Students'
satisfaction towards the computer assisted lesson was measured with an evaluation
form.
The research found that the trial group had a higher average than the control
group. It means that the trial students who learned with the regular method and studied
the computer assisted lesson had better achievement results than the other group which
was taught with the traditional method at 0.05. The research found that the computer
assisted lesson on life experiences helped students know and understand more
effectively.
