PAIR PROGRAMMING LEARNING ACTIVITIES USING A COLLABORATIVE WEB DEVELOPMENT TOOL TO ENHANCE UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS’ WEB PROGRAMMING ACHIEVEMENT

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).
