Effects of Using an Online Competency-Based Learning Management System to Enhance High Vocational Certificate Students' Learning Achievement and Vocational Competence
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objectives of this research are to study 1) the efficiency of an online competency-based learning management system, 2) students’ learning achievement and learning progress, 3) students' vocational competence, and 4) students’ attitudes toward computer studies. The research instruments included the online competency-based learning management system, learning management plans, learning achievement tests, competency assessment forms, and attitude assessment forms. The sample consisted of 25 higher vocational certificate students majoring in Computer and Digital Marketing, selected through purposive sampling. The research data were analyzed using mean, percentage, standard deviation, and dependent t-test. The results showed that the system met E1/E2 efficiency criteria at 80.00/80.60. Students’ post-learning achievement scores were significantly higher than pre-learning scores at the .01 level, with moderate learning gain. The average vocational competency assessment results were at a good level (79.88%). Students demonstrated positive attitudes toward computer studies at a high level (M = 4.09, SD = 0.51), while negative attitudes were at a low level (M = 2.23, SD = 0.61).
