Abstract
The objective of this study was to present a survey of opinions on emergency remote teaching with technology-supported learning under the circumstances of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It was conducted through a survey of students’ opinions along with an analysis of learning outcomes of 29 pre-service teachers who enrolled in the course on Robot Technology, Artificial Intelligence, and Gaming Projects in Education as a case study. These students were studying in Semester 2/2021 of a computer education program at Phuket Rajabhat University. For the subject in question, its learning management was divided into two sections including knowledge about robots, and practical skills on electronic circuit connection, sensor device control programming, robot control programming and the practice of an instructional design on programming games integrated with learning resources in the community. The research instrument was an online questionnaire evaluating six areas of the emergency remote teaching including simplicity, accessibility, affordability, flexibility, empathy, learning outcomes and implementations. Statistics used in the research were percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Overall, the results revealed that the students agreed on the use of tools to support the classroom management with the mean score at 4.49 (SD = 0.49), and the analysis of the learning outcomes showed that a rapid change of learning methodology did not affect their learning outcomes both academically and practically.
