PROJECT BASED LEARNING MANAGEMENT BY USING THEORY OF CONSTRUCTIONISM TOGETHER WITH WEB – BASED INSTRUCTION ON SCRATCH PROGRAMMING FOR GRADE 9 AT TAWEETHAPISEK SCHOOL

Abstract

The purpose of this study were 1) to develop a project based learning management by using theory of constructionism together with web – based instruction (WBI) Scratch Programming 2) to develop a WBI on Scratch Programming, and 3) t o compare learning achievement to Scratch Programming before and after project based learning management by using theory of constructionism together with a WBI. The sample were 40 grade 9 students, enrolling Scratch Programming in the academic year 1/2016 from 1 classrooms at Taweethapisek School, selected by Cluster Random Sampling method. The research instruments were a project based learning management by using theory of constructionism together with a WBI, a WBI on Scratch Programming,a quality evaluation questionnaire, and an achievement test on Scratch Programming with index of congruence (IOC) between0. 67-1.00, difficulty value between0.42-0.64, discrimination value between0.20-0.64.The reliability was at 0.90. The data was analyzed by mean, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent sample The results showed that 1) a project based learning management plan by using theory of constructionism together with a W BI was at excellent level ( =4. 79 , S = 0. 41), 2) The WBI on Scratch Programming was at a good level ( =4.41 , S = 0. 58), 3) the efficiency of the WBI on Scratch Programming was in congruence with the standard at 85. 08/90.75 and 4)the post- learning achievement of the students was significantly higher than the pre-instruction learning achievement at .01
