The Development of E-Learning Courseware to Enhance Logical Thinking Skills on Basic Computer Programming for Grade 5 Students

Abstract

This research entails research and development (R&D) with the objectives to (1) Development of e-learning courseware to enhance logical thinking skills on basic computer programming for grade 5 students, (2) Evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning courseware to enhance logical thinking skills on basic computer programming students based on the E1/E2 efficiency criteria (80/80), (3) Study the Effectiveness Index (E.I.) of e-learning courseware to enhance logical thinking skills on basic computer programming students, (4) Assess the logical thinking skills on basic computer programming students. The research and development using the ADDIE Model process, which includes 1) analysis, 2) design, 3) development, 4) implementation and 5) evaluation by experts to assess the quality of the online lessons. The sample group consists of students at Ban Huai Prap School, specifically those studying computing science of the academic year 2023, totaling 45 individuals, sample obtained by simple random sampling. The tools utilized in this research include (1) e-learning courseware to enhance logical thinking skills on basic computer programming. (2) An e-learning quality assessment form (3)Pre-test and Post-test (4) logical thinking skills assessment form. Statistical analysis involves mean, standard deviation (S.D.), and E1/E2 performance test. The results of this study indicate that: 1. The development of e-learning courseware to enhance logical thinking skills on basic computer programming for students received high rating from experts in terms of with an overall high level of quality (= 4.82, S.D. = 0.22), 2. The testing of the effectiveness of e-learning courseware to enhance logical thinking skills on basic computer programming students performance meeting the E1/E2 criteria, with scores (80.74/81.72), 3. The study of the effectiveness index (E.I.) showed a value of 0.7383, indicating a significant increase in knowledge (73.83 percent) among students who engaged with the e-learning courseware to enhance logical thinking skills on basic computer programming students, 4. The assessment of logical thinking skills post-lessons demonstrated an average proficiency level of 80.21 percent.
