Effects of Program Embedded Calculating for Science in Web-Based Instruction on Works and Energy

Abstract

The proposes of this research were to construct and find out the efficiency of the Embedded Calculating Program for Science in Web-Based Instruction on Works and Energy, then compared the learning achievement between the experimental group that learned with the Embedded Calculating Program for Science in Web-Based Instruction and the controlled group that learned with the Web-Based Instruction without Embedded Calculating Program. In this study, the 1^st year high school students of 40 students from Srinamkumsuksa School were used to be the sample by using the Sample Random Sampling method. The sample was divided into two groups, which each group equals to 20 students. The experimental group learned with the Embedded Calculating Program for Science in Web-Based Instruction while the controlled group that learned with the Web-Based Instruction without Embedded Calculating Program. The Web-Based Instruction with Embedded Calculating Program for Science efficiency was obtained from the experimental group’s learning achievement. Then, the achievement scores of experimental group were compared with the controlled group. The data was analyzed by using the Independent Sample t-test. The results of this study was concluded that the effectiveness of the Web-Based Instruction with Embedded Calculating Program for Science had the effectiveness at 84.25:81.25 which met the standard criteria at 80:80, and the learning achievement of the subjects who learned with Web-Based Instruction with Embedded Calculating Program for Science was significantly higher than those who learned with the Web-Based Instruction without Embedded Calculating Program at .05 levels.
