A Development of Instructional Design Ability via Classroom Action Research Process of Industrial Education Pre-service Teachers

Abstract

                The objectives of this research were to 1) develop learning activities to enhance instructional design ability via classroom action research process of industrial education pre-service teachers; 2) study the ability to conduct classroom action research; and 3) study the instructional design ability of industrial education pre-service teachers. The research sample consisted of 40 students in the Mechanical Technology Education Program during the second semester of the 2015 academic year. The employed research instruments were 1) learning management plans for the instruction using learning activities to enhance instructional design ability via classroom action research process, 2) a scale to assess classroom action research ability, and 3) an evaluation form of ability to write learning management plan.  Statistics employed for data analysis were the mean and standard deviation. The research results were that 1) activities to enhance instructional design ability via classroom action research comprised 9 learning management plans; 2) the overall ability to conduct classroom action research of industrial education pre-service teachers was rated at the good level; and 3) the overall instructional design ability of industrial education pre-service teachers was rated at the good level.
