Abstract

 The study aimed 1) to study current conditions and needs of blended instructional model, 2) to create a blended instructional model using augmented reality and innovative design based learning, 3) to conduct an experiment to study the effect of blended instructional model, and 4) to certify a blended instructional model. The sample group was 16 undergraduate students of Jewelry and Metalwork at Rajamangala University of Technology Rattanakosin. The research instruments comprised the questionnaire of current conditions and needs, instructional model, augmented reality for jewelry design, jewelry design performance evaluation form and certification evaluation form. Data were analyzed by using mean, percentage and standard deviation.

The study found that 80.4% of students used Line and 77.3% of faculty staff used Line and Google Docs. The demand for teaching management focused on the development of media that could be used both onsite and online. It is also found that the created instructional model consisted of three steps.
