Abstract:
This research aimed to 1) develop multi-media for Science learning area 2) develop learning achievement of students before, between and after learning by using multi-media and 3) study the attitude towards science of students by using multi-media. The samples used in this study were 2 classes of sixty students who were studying in Prathomsuksa 3 in the first semester, academic year 2013, at Latbualuang School (Nimnuanutid), Latbualuang district, Pranakornsriayutthaya Province. Simple random Sampling was used to divide students into an experimental group and a controlled group. Multi-media were used in the controlled group. The instruments used in this research were 1) 4 Science lesson plans, 2 periods for each plan, 2) the multi-media, consisted of 4 sets of computer aided instruction, exercises and games, 3) 30 item of 4 choices learning achievement test in Science with alpha coefficient equal to 0.80, discrimination value between 0.27 0.80 and difficulty value between 0.27 0.80, 4) the 5 rating scales attitude test in Science of students who learned by multi-media and 5) the quality evaluative form for multi-media. Statistics used in data analysis were mean, standard deviation and percentage. The statistics used in hypothesis test was repeated measure two ways ANOVA.
The results were found that 1) the efficiency of the inventive multimedia was 81.03/89.00, in accordance with criteria determined, 2) the learning achievement of students that learned by using the inventive multi-media was higher than learning achievement of students who did not learn by using the inventive multimedia. The development of learning achievement was increasing towards the rank of the experiment and 3) the attitude towards Science of students after learning using the inventive multimedia was at the highest level.
