The Development of Learning Outcomes on Vertebrates by Computer Assisted Instruction for Prathomsuksa 4 students in Ban Tong Witthaya School

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to create and assess the suitability of computer assisted instruction on vertebrates topic for Prathomsuksa 4 students in Ban Tong Wittaya school; and 2) to study the learning outcomes of Prathomsuksa 4 students in terms of knowledge, science process skills, and the desirable characteristics of science Ban Tong Wittaya school from computer assisted instruction on vertebrates topic. The sample was 20 students in Prathomsuksa 4 at Ban Tong Wittaya school, Doi Tao district, Chiang Mai province, semester 2 in academic year 2022, by cluster sampling. The research instruments were 1) computer assisted instruction on vertebrates topic, 2) pre-test and post-test, 3) a science skill test, and 4) a desirable attributes in science test. The research results showed that 1) The assessment results of computer assisted instruction on vertebrates topic by 3 experts were at the highest level; 2) The student’s science skill after learning computer assisted instruction on vertebrates topic was higher than before one. The research was statistically significant difference at 0.01 level; 3) The science skill of Prathomsuksa 4 students who have received learning by computer assisted instruction on vertebrates topic was very good; and 4) The desirable characteristics of science of Prathomsuksa 4 students who have received learning by computer assisted instruction on vertebrates topic were at a high level.
