A Study of the Effects of Cooperative Learning Management with Using Technology Applications on Learning Achievement in Design and Technology 1 Subject of Grade 7 Students at Cha-uat Wittayakhan School, the Secondary Educational Service Area Office, Nakhon Si Thammarat

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to: 1) compare the Learning achievement in Design and Technology 1 subject of Grade 7 students before and after receiving cooperative learning management with using technology applications, 2) compare the learning achievement in Design and Technology 1 subject of Grade 7 students after receiving cooperative learning management with using technology applications in Design and Technology 1 against the 70% criterion, and 3) study the satisfaction of Grade 7 students towards cooperative learning management with using technology applications in Design and Technology 1 subject. The sample group consisted of 37 Grade 7 students from Cha-uat Witthayakhan School, which operates under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office, Nakhon Si Thammarat. The study was conducted during the first semester of the 2024 academic year, with participants selected through a cluster random sampling methodology to ensure representative data collection and minimize selection bias. The research instruments included: 1)learning management plans, 2)learning achievement tests, and 3)satisfaction questionnaires. The statistics used for data analysis in this research were mean, standard deviation and t-test.

               The research findings: 1) The learning achievement in Design and Technology 1 subject of Grade 7 students who received cooperative learning management with using technology applications showed that the post-test scores were significantly higher than the pre-test scores at the 0.05 statistical significant level, indicating the effectiveness of the cooperative learning approach with technology integration. 2) The learning achievement in Design and Technology 1 subject of Grade 7 students against the 70% criterion showed a statistically significant difference at the 0.05 level, suggesting successful academic outcomes. 3) Grade 7 students showed the highest level of satisfaction on cooperative learning management with using technology applications in Design and Technology 1 subject with an overall mean score of 4.56 and a standard deviation of 0.19.
