COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTION MODULE : THE TOLERANCE THAT SEND THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Abstract

This research aims 1) to develop a computer-assisted instruction lesson for a tolerance module, 2) to determine the effectiveness of the computer-assisted instruction lesson for the tolerance module, and 3) to compare students' learning achievement in Machine Element Design Course in the tolerance modules with the criteria. The samples used in this research are 2nd year undergraduate students in Production and Industrial Engineering Program, King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok, totally 30 people. The samples were selected by cluster random sampling. In this research, tools consist of the computer-assisted instruction lesson for the tolerance module, quality assessment form for computer-assisted teaching, and a test in order to measure learning achievement. In addition, the consistency index of the test is between 0.80-1.00. The difficulty is between 0.47-0.80. The discrimination is between 0.20–0.53. The confidence value is 0.83. The statistics used for data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and one-group t-test.

The results were found that 1) the computer-assisted instruction lesson for the tolerance module has the content quality of media, quality of picture and audio, and production techniques of media at a good level ( = 4.45, S.D. = 0.60 ). Also, 2) the computer-assisted instruction lesson for the tolerance module provides the efficiency value at 83.33/88.75, which is higher than the criteria set at 80/80. Finally, 3) the learning achievement of students using the computer-assisted instruction lesson shows that the mean score is significantly higher than the set criteria 80% at the .05 level, which is based on the assumptions set.
