Design and Development of Constructivist Environment on Cloud Computing to Enhance Creative Thinking

Abstract

The purposes of this research was to design and develop constructivist learning environment on Cloud Computing in order to enhance creative thinking. The target group were 31 Science Education undergraduate students in the Faculty of Education, Khon Kaen University who enrolled in 241 208 Innovation and Information Technology for learning course during the first semester of 2016 academic year. Research methodology is developmental research; developmental research consisted of 3 processes which were product design and development process, product evaluation process, and vlidation of tool process. The theoretical framework consists of psychology base, media base, technology base (cloud computing), context base, creative thinking base, and pedagogical base. The data was interpreted by the researcher. It was found that the efficiency of the designed and development constructivist learning environment on Cloud Computing that enhancing students’ creative thinking as follows (1) Situational Problems, (2) Resources, (3) Collaboration, (4) Support Creative Thinking Center (5) Scaffolding and (6) Coaching.The Constructivist learning environment on Cloud Computing in order to enhance creative thinking had the efficiency in the viewpoint of expert reviews. The average of creative thinking scores was 85.95 percent which was higher than the set criteria 70 percent.
