A Development of e-Learning Courseware Based on Constructivist Theory on Science and Technology for Higher Education

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to 1) develop e-learning courseware on the Science and Technology course for Higher Education based on constructivist theory 2) compare learning achievement before and after learning by using the e-learning courseware and 3) study the students’ satisfaction with the e-learning courseware. The sample group was 24 undergraduate students in the Faculty of Information Technology at North Bangkok University enrolled in the first section of the Science and Technology course in the first semester of 2021, derived by cluster random sampling. The research instruments were 1) an e-learning courseware based on constructivist theory 2) an achievement test and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire created by the researcher. The statistics used in the research were means, standard deviation, and t-test. The research findings were revealed as follows: 1) The effectiveness of the e-learning courseware was 80.34/80.26 which was higher than the set criterion of 80/80. 2) The learning achievement of students after learning by using the e-learning courseware was higher than that of before with statistical significance at .05 level. 3) The students’ satisfaction with the e-learning courseware was at a high level (= 4.47, S.D. = 0.54).
