The Development of Constructivism Interactive Micro-learning Lessons to Enhance Higher Order Thinking Skills for Ramkhamhaeng University Students

Abstract

This research aims to: 1) develop constructivist interactive micro-learning lessons to enhance higher-order thinking skills, 2) compare students' higher-order thinking skills before and after learning through these lessons, and 3) examine students' satisfaction with the constructivist interactive micro-learning lessons. The research sample consisted of 30 students from Ramkhamhaeng University who enrolled in the course Digital Media for Learning (DLT2902) during the second semester of the 2023 academic year. The participants were selected through simple random sampling. The research instruments included (1) constructivist interactive micro-learning lessons, (2) a lesson quality evaluation form, (3) a test measuring analytical and logical thinking skills, and (4) a student satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using means, standard deviations, and a dependent t-test.

The research findings revealed that: 1) The constructivist interactive micro-learning lessons were rated at the highest quality level in terms of media (M = 4.76, SD = 0.30) and content ( M = 5.00, SD = 0.00). 2)Students' higher-order thinking skills, specifically analytical and logical thinking, significantly improved after learning through the interactive micro-learning lessons, with post-test scores being significantly higher than pre-test scores at the .05 level. 3) Students' satisfaction with the constructivist interactive micro-learning lessons was at the highest level ( M = 4.72, SD = 0.29).
