Abstract
The objective of this research was to design an instructional package on basic occupational skills for teachers using the Backward Design approach. The target group consisted of 30 teachers in the learning area of Occupation and Technology from secondary schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC), both Secondary Educational Service Areas (SESA) and Primary Educational Service Areas (PESA) in Phetchabun Province. The research instruments included the instructional package on basic occupational skills, a knowledge and understanding test, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean (), and standard deviation (S.D.).
The research findings revealed that:
1. The developed instructional package was of the highest quality, and the post-test scores of the target group were significantly higher than the pre-test scores at the .05 level of significance.
2. The satisfaction of teachers and educational personnel toward the instructional package was at the highest level (= 4.24).
The findings indicated that the use of the Backward Design approach in instructional package development could effectively enhance knowledge, understanding, and learning satisfaction among vocational teachers.
