Development of A Program Enhancing Digital Ethics Reasoning for Lower Secondary School Student Using Outcome-Based Education and Cased-Based Learning Approaches

Abstract

This research aims to study the effect of the application of program enhancing digital ethical reasoning abilities on lower secondary school students using outcome-based education and case-based learning approaches. The research was conducted by developing two sets of research instruments: 1) The program enhancing digital ethical reasoning abilities of lower secondary school students using outcome-based education and case-based learning approaches. 2) The digital ethical reasoning quiz for lower secondary school students. The program was experimentally applied to a sample group of 37 Mathayom Suksa III students who enrolled in the subject of Digital Citizenship Assembly Activities in the 1st Semester, Academic Year 2020. The sample group have been selected by using purposive sampling method. The data were analyzed in two parts: Part 1: quantitative data analysis using arithmetic mean, standard deviation, finding relative gain scores and t-test dependent, and Part 2: qualitative data analysis by content analysis.

The results of the quantitative research indicated as follows. 1) The students who received the learning management using outcome-based education and case-based learning approaches had the scores of post-test digital ethical reasoning skills higher than the scores of pre-test digital ethical reasoning abilities with a statistical significance level of .05 2) The students who received the learning management using outcome-based education and case-based learning approaches learning had higher relative gain scores of digital ethical reasoning accounted for 21.06%.
