Effects of teaching printed textile design by using the Crystal-based Instructional Model on learning outcomes of undergraduate students in Fine and Applied Arts programs
Abstract:
The purposes of this research were to study the effects of teaching Printed Textile Design by using the Crystal-based Instructional model on learning outcomes of undergraduate students in Fine and Applied Arts programs. The sampling group of this research was thirteen sophomore students, in the department of Textile Design, at Thammasat University; who enrolled in Printed Textile Design 1 class of 2010 second semester. The research instruments: 1. Textile Design teaching plan by using the Crystal-based Instructional model, 2. The evaluation form of cognitive domain; for pre-test and pro-test, 3. The evaluation form of psychomotor domain and affective domain; for working process, products design, and students attitude, 4. The evaluation form for observing behavior on learning process, 5. The evaluation form of the Crystal-based Instructional model consisted of 2 forms: 1) The student self-assessment, 2) The student questionnaires. The obtained data were then analyzed in terms of means, standard deviation and t-test. The research findings are as follows: Textile Design learning outcomes of undergraduate students in Fine and Applied Arts programs after using the Crystal-based Instructional model had higher scores in the areas of cognitive domain than before learning, with a significant difference at the .05 level. And the learning outcomes of psychomotor domain and affective domain were at good level. The research results showed that, The students had Improved their systematic thinking, their ability to design, and the classroom learning behaviors. The research recommendations were that the Instructors should try to use the Crystal-based Instructional model to teach other related areas in the field of Applied Arts.
