Efficiencyic of Instructional Model Based on Constructivist Theory to Prevent Communicable Diseases of Child Caregivers at Bangkok

Abstract

The objectives of this study were  to  1)  Develop and find the efficiency of  an  instructional model based on constructivist  theory  to  Prevent  communicable diseases of   child caregivers. 2) Compare the learning  ability  of   child caregivers  who  study  an  instructional model based  on constructivist  theory  with normal teaching.  Study using a Research and Development.   This study using the control group design so  test before and after study  for a set period of time.  The findings showed that:  The  development  of  an  instructional model based on constructivist theory  to  prevent  communicable diseases of  child caregivers  is an “ALGAE Model”  with 5 steps. The ALGAE Model consists of  Attraction: A,  Learn and practice: L, Guide learning:  G, Application: A  and Evaluation: E.  The  development  of  an  instructional model based on constructivist theory  to  prevent  communicable diseases of  child caregivers  was efficiency 80.88/82.75,  compared to 80/80 which higher standard. The learning  ability  of child caregivers who studied with instructional model based on constructivist theory  and normal teaching were statistically significant 0.01. The learning ability scores was higher the caregivers who learn with the normal teaching.  Recommendations for training courses on to prevent communicable diseases of child caregivers without prior knowledge of public health. Individualized  teaching should be more effective than lecture.
