The development of web-based instruction with constructivist theory on funcion

Abstract

The objectives of this study were (1) to develop and examine the efficiency of web-based instruction (WBI) with Constructivist Theory on Function and (2) to compare the learning achievement between students learning with the web-based instruction with Constructivist Theory on Function and the students learning with conventional instruction. The sample of the study comprised of 72 students(Grade 10)  from a total of 3 classrooms who enrolled Advance Programming course at Princess Chulabhorn’ College Pathumthani in the academic year2/2014, selected by Cluster Random Sampling method. The research instruments were a web based instruction with Constructivist Theory on Function and a 25-item achievement test with Index of Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) of achievement test was between 0.80-1.00. The difficulty was between 0.29– 0.79, and discrimination was 0.25-0.58. The reliability was 0.91. Data statistics using average, standard deviation and t-test Independent.

The result presented that (1) the quality level in web-based instruction with Constructivist Theory on Function in tern average of content is very good ( = 4.71, S.D. = 0.38) and the average production technique is very good ( = 4.61, S.D. = 0.45), and  web-based instruction on Function had the efficiency equal to 80.83 : 81.67 (2) The students who learned with the web based instruction with Constructivist Theory showed significantly higher learning achievement than the students who learned with the conventional instruction ( = 20.04 and 18.17, respectively) at .05 levels.
