Abstract

This research article aimed to: 1) study the online learning system of lower secondary schools in Nakhon Phanom Province, 2) develop online learning processes,         3) develop learning packages and creative activities, and 4) develop online learning innovations for lower secondary school students in the study area. The research was conducted through four sub-projects, consisting of documentary research, participatory action research, and research and development. Various research instruments were employed, including questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions. The sample consisted of school administrators, teachers, and lower secondary students in That Phanom District, totaling 114 participants.

The findings revealed that the most widely used online learning platforms in lower secondary schools were Google Site and Google Classroom, which effectively supported blended learning and self-directed learning. The development of online teaching and learning processes highlighted the importance of content design, learning activities, communication and interaction, as well as appropriate assessment methods. The development of learning packages and creative activities based on local contexts demonstrated higher-than-standard efficiency and significantly enhanced students’ English reading comprehension and creativity. Moreover, students expressed a high level of satisfaction with the learning packages. The overall implementation of online learning innovations was found to be appropriate, with a high mean score (x̄ = 3.90), indicating that online innovations can effectively support student learning. In conclusion, this study confirms that the development of online learning innovations can enhance the quality of education, align with the specific context of Nakhon Phanom Province, and serve as a crucial guideline for teaching and learning management in the digital era.
