Keywords:
HyFlex Learning, Learning Management System, Strategic Educational Management, Graduate LearnerAbstract
The objectives of this research were to 1) design, create, test, use and evaluate the prototype of the HyFlex learning management system in the seminar on Strategic Educational Management for graduate students; and 2) recommend the HyFlex learning management system in the Seminar on Strategic Educational Management for graduate students. This study is designed as research and development. The sample group consisted of 17 graduate students in the Master of Education Program in Educational Administration and Strategies at Rajamangala University of Technology Rattanakosin, who were studying in Semester 2 Academic Year 2023. The research method consisted of four steps: 1) analysis of users’ requirement; 2) system design and development; 3) usability testing and evaluation; and 4) system performance improvement. The analysis of quantitative data was done by using statistical packages to show mean and standard deviation. The qualitative data analysis was done with the content analysis. The research results were listed, as follows. First, the prototype of the HyFlex Learning Management System in the seminar on Strategic Educational Management for graduate students used a database life cycle or DBLC development process. The experiment with the operational system for the graduate study involved the learning alongside technology with a simple implementation. Students had the highest level of satisfaction with the system prototype that developed gradually. Secondly, the structure of this system consisted of the website, the lecturer and student database, the knowledge records, the knowledge assessment, the discussion board, the downloaded documents, the related case studies, and the pictures and videos of various activities. In addition, the prototype system equipped the graduate students with practical skills to learn about how the strategic education management, could improve the quality of education management. This included the development of skills to use educational technology in a more effective way.
