Abstract
This research is an experimental research on the development of an e-learning program for children’s executive functions development at 5-7 years old. 40 children between 5-7 years old, live in Bangkok Metropolis and Vicinity were participated in the study and divided into two groups; 20 children for the experimental group and 20 children for the control group. Both groups of samples must be children with normal physical and brain development. An e-learning program for children’s executive functions development for 5-7 years old and Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) are all tools used to collect data. The results revealed that 1) the e-learning program for children’s executive functions development for 5-7 years old was the most suitable. 2) The difference in CANTAB test scores indicated that the experimental group received a better post-score than the control group with a statistically significant level of 0.01. The F statistic of SSTSSRT, ERTORTSD, IEDECS, SWMTE, AND OTSMDLC score are equal to 700.29 (p < 0.01), 228.39 (p < 0.01), 162.61 (p < 0.01), 365.73 (p < 0.01), and 264.45 (p < 0.01) respectively. In addition, the results revealed the effect size (h2) equal to 0.85, 0.68, 0.67, 0.76, and 0.84 respectively. These results indicated that the e-learning program for children’s executive functions development for 5-7 years old was effective.
