Effect of Problem-Based E-Learning Courseware on Achievement in the Course of Creating Works with Computer for Mathayomsuksa 4 Students

Abstract

The objectives of the study were 1) to develop the problem-based e-learning courseware for the course of Creating Works with Computer on the learning topic of Array and String Variables on quality and efficiency and 2) to compare learning achievement between the students learning with the courseware and those learning with conventional method. The sample of the study comprised Mathayomsuksa 4 students in 3 classrooms at Suankularb Wittayalai School in the second semester of the academic year 2014, selected by cluster random sampling method. The research instruments included a problem-based e-learning courseware for the course of Creating Works with Computer on the learning topic of Array and String Variables, a courseware quality evaluation form and an achievement test. The data were analyzed by using arithmetic mean, standard deviation and t-test for independent sample. The results showed that:

1. Content quality (=4.57, S.D.=0.32) and media production quality (=4.67, S.D.=0.47) of the courseware were at an excellent level,

2. Efficiency E₁:E₂ of the courseware was at 80.86: 83.11,

3. Learning achievement on Array and String Variables of the students who learned with the developed courseware was significantly higher than the students who learned with conventional method at .05.
