Abstract

          The purposes of this research were to compare a second-year high vocational certificate students’ achievement and satisfaction toward the learning in computer programming through the instructional method based on cooperative learning in Jigsaw technique and traditional teaching method. The sample used in this research were 65 second-year high vocational certificate students in Digital Business Technology Program at Sukhothai Vocational College, the first semester of 2020 academic year. They were randomly assigned into experimental group and control group with 36 and 29 students. The experimental group was taught by Jigsaw Technique whereas the control group was taught by traditional teaching method. The same content was taught for both groups within 24 hours-periods.

          The instruments used in this research were 1) the Jigsaw technique lesson plans      2) the traditional teaching method lesson plans 3) the students’ achievement test 4) the satisfaction questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed by means, standard deviation and T-test.

          The result of the research indicated that

1) the students who were taught by Jigsaw technique of cooperative learning was significantly more achievable than that of students who were taught by traditional teaching method at the 0.01 level of significance.

2) the students’ satisfaction who learned in Computer Programming under Jigsaw technique of cooperative learning was significantly higher than other at the 0.01 level.
