DEVELOPMENT OF TPACK-BASED LEARNING ACTIVITIES ON DIGITAL INTELLIGENCE TO ENHANCE THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT GRADE 8 STUDENTS’

Abstract

This study aimed to 1) develop TPACK-based learning activities on digital intelligence and 2) compare the academic achievement of students who learned through the developed learning activities with that of those who received conventional instruction. The sample consisted of two Grade 8 classrooms at Patumkongka Samutprakan School, with 39 students in each classroom. Cluster random sampling was employed, using classrooms as the sampling units. The research instruments included 1) TPACK-based learning activities, 2) an evaluation form to assess the appropriateness of the learning activities, and 3) an achievement test. The data were analyzed using the mean, standard deviation, and an independent samples t-test.

The findings revealed that 1) the TPACK-based learning activities integrated content, pedagogy, and technology in the instruction of digital intelligence, and expert evaluation indicated that the overall appropriateness of the activities was at the highest level; and 2) students who learned through the developed learning activities achieved significantly higher academic performance than those who received conventional instruction at the .05 level of statistical significance.
