PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING MANAGEMENT APPLYING MULTIMEDIA LESSON FOR COMPUTER CLASS OF GRADE 8 STUDENTS AT NONGPLAMORPITTAYAKOM SCHOOL, BAN PONG DISTRICT, RATCHABURI PROVINCE

Abstract

This study revealed its two objectives, which were: 1) a survey the efficiency of problem-based learning management on computer subject of grade 8 students before and after using the plan via multimedia lesson; and 2) a comparison of the learning achievement before and after the experiment. This study involved with the experimental research, applying probability cluster sampling method, which gained a sample set of 30 students in 8th grade. The tools employed for collecting data were problem-based learning management plan on computer subject plan, multimedia lesson and learning achievement test. The main findings are that: 1) the efficiency of learning management is at 87.17/85.67, which reaches the criteria set; 2) the learning achievement after the application is higher at the level of 0.05 statistical significances.  As a result, this study creates two principle contributions: first, the knowledge from the learning management that can efficiently elevate the critical thinking skill, enhance the clearer study goals; and increase data analysis ability to construct systematic or critical thinking of students; and second, the innovation from the multimedia lesson which is more interesting, and easier to understand for students. Furthermore, this study establishes the self-learning, promoting learning development and higher learning achievement for the students in 8th grade.
