Development of Augmented Reality Application by Using the Questioning Method Based on Constructivism Theory to Enhance Analytical Skills of Second Grade at St. Gabriel's College

Abstract

The purposes of this study were 1) to develop a virtual reality application on Thai idioms based on the 80/80 quality and efficiency criterion, 2) to compare Pre and Post student's analytical and creative thinking skills with the usage of Augmented Reality Application on the Thai idiom question, 3) to investigate the effectiveness index of a virtual reality application, and 4) to investigate students' satisfactions on the virtual reality application. The study was conducted with 30-second graders at Saint Gabriel's College. The research instruments were 1) a virtual reality application on Thai Idioms, 2) an application’s media quality evaluation questionnaire, 3) Pre and Post-test of a creative thinking skills achievement questionnaire, and 4) The virtual reality application's satisfaction survey on Thai Idioms topic. The Data was statistically analyzed with mean, standard deviation, and T-test. The research findings indicated that 1) the Virtual Reality Application on Thai Idioms showed the highest quality (Content, =4.25, Technical, =4.51) and showed efficiency at 89.83/90.32, relating the standard criteria (80/80), 2) the creative thinking skills achievement scores were significantly higher than the pre-test scores at the level of .05, 3) the effectiveness index was identified at 0.82 showing that the virtual reality application could promote the progress of students' learning at 82%, and 4) the student's satisfaction with the use of virtual reality application on Thai idioms were marked at the '‘highest'’ level (=4.51).
