The Development of Computer Assisted Instruction on The Topic of Reading for the Main Idea for Matthayomsuksa 3 Students

Abstract

   The objectives of this research were: 1. to develop computer-assisted instruction on reading for the main idea for Matthayomsuksa 3 students based on the efficiency of 80/80; 2. to compare the students’ learning achievement between before and after the learning; and 3. to study the students’ satisfaction toward the computer-assisted instruction on reading for the main idea. The samples were 14 Mathayomsuksa 3/1 (M. 3/1) students at Bang Rachan Wittaya School, Bang Rachan District, Singburi Province in the 2nd semester of the 2021 academic year. They were recruited using cluster random sampling. The research instruments were; 1) computer-assisted instruction on reading for the main idea texts; 2) an achievement test; 3) a lesson plan on reading for the main idea; and 4) an evaluation form of students’ satisfaction toward the computer-assisted instruction on reading for the main idea, in total 22 items. Data were analyzed using mean ( ), standard deviation, and dependent samples t-test.   The results showed: 1. the efficiency of the computer-assisted instruction on reading for the main idea for M. 3 students was 82.86/83.60, which was higher than the set criteria; 2. the students’ learning achievement after the learning was higher with statistical significance at .05; and 3. the students' satisfaction with the computer-assisted instruction on reading for the main idea was at the highest level.
