The Development Model of Electronic Resource Center According to OTMM

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to study the problems and the needs of the model development of electronic resource center according to OTMM, 2) to develop the model of electronic resource center according to OTMM, 3) to test and to evaluate the result of model of electronic resource center according to OTMM.  The samples used in surveying of the problematic condition and the requirement of model development of electronic resource center according to OTMM  were 265 teachers who teach computer in schools under Secondary Education Service Area Office of the  lower northern region, and the samples used for interview were 16 computer teachers by purposive sampling. The samples used in the experimental group for the model of electronic resource center according to OTMM were 40 7^th grade students of Chattrakarnwittaya School in the academic year of 2016 and the samples of the controlled group were 40 7^th grade students of Nakhonthai Secondary School in the academic year of 2016 by purposive sampling. Data were collected by using questionnaire, interviewing form, Test on skills in information, media and technology and satisfactory evaluation form. The researcher had done the interview and gathered the data by himself, analyzed the data by using the interpretation, and descriptive conclusion.  Data were analyzed by using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-test independent.

The findings showed that 1. The problematic conditions of most high schools were as follows: there were only 1-3 computer teachers in schools, the content is not up-to-date and the electronic resource centers in the current situation were not capable enough to meet with the requirement. Teachers would like to have the electronic resource center for their own schools and teaching media should be easily edited for such application. 2. The development model of electronic resource center according to OTMM consisted of 1) Structure,  2) Curriculum, 3) Courses, 4) Content, 5) News, 6) Download Center, 7) Manual and 8) contact.  And the driving cycle of the model development of electronic resource center according to OTMM consisted of: 1) Learning Resources, 2) Teachers Co-Operation, 3) Students Co-Operation, 4) Feedback, and 5) Publication and dissemination.  3. The result of usage of the model development of electronic resource center according to OTMM found that the students had practical skills in information, media and technology higher with statistically significant at 0.05 and overall were highly satisfied with the model development of electronic resource center according to OTMM.
