Abstract
The purpose of this research was to develop learning activities and compare pretest and posttest scores and student satisfaction with pair programming learning activities using a collaborative web development tool to enhance undergraduate students' web programming achievement. The sample group were 39 undergraduate students majoring in a computer education program at Nakhonpathom Rajabhat University who were selected using purposive sampling. The research tools were learning activities and a learning plan, a collaborative web development tool, a pretest and posttest, and a student satisfaction evaluation. The statistics for data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent variables. The research study revealed that the pair programming learning activities consisted of a preparation stage for preparing students; a learning activity stage for learning with a collaborative web development tool; and an evaluation stage for evaluating student learning achievement and student satisfaction. The appropriateness of learning activities was found to be at the great level (=4.64, S.D.=0.51). When the pretest and posttest were compared, it was found that the average mean scores on the posttest (
=31.49, S.D.=6.30) were significantly higher than those of the pretest (
=16.44, S.D.=4.29) at the 0.01 level. Student satisfaction was at the great level (
=4.65, S.D.=0.51).
