Developing STEAM-based Learning Management with Multimedia: Computer Science Course 4 (Graphic Design) for Mathayom 4 Students

Abstract

The objectives of this research were as follows: 1) to develop STEAM-based learning activities with a multimedia lessons program aiming for an efficiency rating of 80/80, 2) to compare the learning achievements of students using the STEAM-based learning approach with the multimedia lessons program, and 3) to investigate student satisfaction with the STEAM-based learning activities combined with multimedia lessons program in Computer Science Course 4 (Graphic Design) for Grade 10 students. The sample comprised 28 Mathayomsuksa 4/1 students in the first semester of the 2023 academic year at Sakaeratthawatsuksa School, Pak Thong Chai District, Nakhonratchasima Province, selected through cluster random sampling by drawing lots. Research instruments included plans for STEAM-based learning activities with the multimedia lessons program, a learning achievement test, and a scientific attitude test. Data analysis employed percentage, mean, standard deviation, E1/E2, and t-test Dependent Sample.

The research findings were as follows: 1) The implementation of STEAM-based learning activities with the multimedia lessons program in Computer Science Course 4 (Graphic Design) for Grade 10 students achieved efficiency levels of 84.40/82.62, respectively, meeting the established requirement of 80/80. 2) Students who engaged in STEAM-based learning activities with the multimedia lessons program demonstrated significantly higher learning achievements at a 0.05 level of significance. 3) The scientific attitude of 10th-grade students towards STEAM-based learning activities with the multimedia lessons program in Computer Science Course 4 (Graphic Design) was notably high ( = 4.45, S.D. = 0.30).
