The Development of Instructional Media in the Use of Fluorescence Microscope and Usage Logbook System, Faculty of Science, Khon Kaen University

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to develop the instructional media on the use of fluorescence microscopy for the Faculty of Science, Khon Kaen University, 2) to develop the usage logbook system for fluorescence microscopy, 3) to evaluate the quality of the instructional media and the usage logbook system of fluorescence microscopy and 4) to evaluate the user satisfaction with the instructional media and               the usage of the logbook system of fluorescence microscopy. The sample group consisted of 70 lecturers, staff, students of this faculty, and the public who used the fluorescent microscope service. The accidental sampling was employed to recruit the sample group. The research tools were the instructional media developed in video format, the usage logbook system, quality evaluation form, and satisfaction evaluation form. The statistics used to analyze data were the mean and standard deviation.

The results found that 1) this instructional media is Non-Linear Editing using the Final Cut Pro program for 6 subjects that could be studied in advance and reviewed repeatedly. 2) The usage logbook system was developed in the form of a Web application with PHP language and used the MySQL database management system. This system can quickly issue reports and easily check usage recording data. 3) The specialists evaluated the quality of media at the highest level (=4.61, S.D.=0.51) as well as the quality of the usage logbook system was the highest level (=4.60, S.D.=0.51). And 4) the user satisfaction with the use of instructional media was the highest level (=4.59, S.D.=0.49) and the user satisfaction with the usage logbook system was demonstrated at the highest level (=4.63, S.D.=0.48).
