Development of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) based on Connectivism on Emerging Educational Technology and Communications in Education to Enhance Learning Achievement of Learners
Main Article Content
Abstract
The research objectives were 1) to develop a MOOC based on connectivism focusing on Emerging Educational Technology and Communications in Education, and 2) to compare learners' pre-test and post-test performance enrolled in the course. The sample consisted of 45 students registered in the PSU MOOC system for the subject Emerging Educational Technology and Communications in Education, selected using simple random sampling. The research tools included online lesson content, learning management plans, a MOOC, and learning achievement tests. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and single-group hypothesis testing. The research findings revealed that the quality of the developed MOOC was at the highest level (M = 4.83, SD = 0.30), and that students who studied with the MOOC based on connectivism demonstrated significantly improved achievement levels after completing the course, at a statistical significance level of .01.
