DEVELOPMENT OF ANALYTICAL THINKING BY PROBLEM-BASE LEARNING WITH E-LEARNING ON TWO-DIMENSIONAL ARRAY FOR VOCATIONAL CERTIFICATE STUDENTS

Abstract

The objectives of this research are: 1) to develop the learning management plans using problem-based learning management on quality analytical thinking ability; 2) to develop the quality and efficient e-learning lessons regarding two-dimensional arrays; 3) to compare the analytical thinking ability between students learning by problem-based learning management together with e-learning lessons and students learning by normal learning management. The samples are totally 60 vocational certificate students in 2nd Year of Saraburi Technical College, 2nd Semester, Academic Year 2019, selected by random sampling from 3 classrooms, 20 students each. Tools used in this research include Learning Management Plans, Quality Assessment on Learning Management Plans, E-learning Lessons, Quality Assessment on E-Learning Lessons, and Test of Analytical Thinking Ability Assessment, while the statistics applied in the research were Mean (), Standard Deviation (S) and the comparison of Mean values between two independent groups, Independent Sample t – test, with the statistical significance at the level of .05.

The results of research were found that: 1) the quality of learning management plans is in very good level ( = 4.54, S = 0.38); 2) the overall quality of e-learning lessons in terms of content is in very good level ( = 4.64, S = 0.23), the overall quality of media production in terms of technic is in very good level ( = 4.74, S = 0.17); 3) the efficiency of e-learning lessons E₁/E₂ = 81.20/84.67 which is higher than the set criteria at 80/80; and 4) students learning by problem-based learning management together with e-learning lessons have higher analytical thinking ability than students learning by normal learning management with the statistical significance at the level of .05.
