The Development of an Active Learning Management Model to Enhance Innovative Creation Skills in Multimedia Technology

Abstract

This study adopted a Research and Development (R&D) approach integrated with the ADDIE instructional design model and employed a mixed-methods research methodology. The objectives of the study were (1) to develop an active learning management model that promotes innovative multimedia creation skills and (2) to examine the effectiveness of the developed active learning management model. The research instruments consisted of a lesson plan, an innovative multimedia creation skills assessment form, a questionnaire measuring students' opinions toward learning through the active learning management model, a student learning behavior observation record, a student reflective learning form, and an innovative work analysis form. The target group comprised Matthayom 6 students majoring in innovative multimedia technology at Srinakharinwirot University Prasarnmit Demonstration School (Secondary Division). The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, a dependent samples t-test, and content analysis.

The findings revealed that 1) the developed active learning management model, termed the IM IDEA Model, consisted of three components: principles and objectives, learning process, and conditions; and 2) after the implementation of the model, students' innovative multimedia creation skills were significantly higher than before at the .001 level, and students' opinions toward the active learning management model were at a high level (M= 4.45, S.D.= 0.70). Additionally, the qualitative findings supported the quantitative results, indicating that students demonstrated improvements in creative thinking, effective collaboration, and the ability to design, develop, and communicate innovative multimedia technology products.
