DEVELOPMENT OF A WIKI-BASED LEARNING MODEL USING A KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT PROCESS TO PROMOTE ACTIVE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SKILLS OF STUDENT TEACHERS

Abstract

The purposes of this study were (1) to analyze and synthesize documents and research studies related to wiki-based learning model using knowledge management process to promote active learning management skills, (2) to develop the wiki-based learning model, and (3) to compare management skills before and after using the wiki-based learning model. The targeted respondents were student teachers of Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi using the design and development method of Richey & Klein (2007) with 3 phases, namely, Phase 1 was the model-related document analysis and synthesis phase; Phase 2 was the learning development phase; and Phase 3 was the comparison of the management of learning skills. The employed research tools were the management process of active learning, a learning achievement test, and a scale to assess active learning management skills. Research data were statistically analysed using the percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The results of this study show that (1) there are 4 steps of wiki-based active learning which are (a) knowledge seeking, (b) interactive learning, (c) practical learning, and (d) presentation of work outcomes; (2) development of wiki-based learning consists of 2 parts: the first part is the wiki-based learning model, which has quality at the high level; and the second part is the wiki-based learning model, which efficient in accordance with the pre-determined criterion; and (3) the post-learning active learning management skills of student teachers were higher than their pre-learning active learning management skills.
