Developing Online Learning Community Model for Enhancing Digital and Collaborative Skills of Pre-Service Teachers at Phranakhon Rajabhat University

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to 1) develop online learning community model for enhancing digital and collaboration skills of pre-service teachers at Phranakhon Rajabhat University; 2) compare digital skills before and after learning instructions by implementing an online learning community; and 3) compare digital and collaboration skills between the groups of the online learning community group and the control group.  The research instrument was an online learning community model for enhancing digital and collaborative skills.  The sample group used in the research was obtained by simple random sampling method by using lucky draw, 2 study groups were drawn forทan experimental group of 33 students and a control group of 23 students. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and t-test.

The results of the research showed that:

1) Online learning community model for enhancing digital and collaborative skills consisted of input factors, learning process, and learning outcomes at the highest suitable level.

2) Digital skills of pre-service teachers after implementing learning instruction using online learning community model was higher than before with statistical significance at the level of .05

3) Digital skills of pre-service teachers after implementing learning instruction using online learning community, the experimental group was higher than the control group with statistical significance at the level of .05

4) For collaborative skills, the experimental group was higher than the control group with statistical significance at the level of .05
