The Development of a Blended Learning Management Process Integrated with Technology to Enhance Seamless Learning in Dance Education on Thai Folk Dance for Grade 5 Students

Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) develop a blended learning management process integrated with technology to promote seamless learning in a Thai classical dance course, with an efficiency criterion of 80/80; 2) compare students' academic achievement and skills before and after the implementation of the learning process; and 3) examine students' satisfaction toward the developed learning process. The participants were 22 Grade 5 students. Research instruments included an academic achievement test, a skill assessment form, a satisfaction questionnaire, and an instrument quality evaluation form completed by experts. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, index of item-objective congruence (IOC), E1/E2 efficiency index, and dependent samples t-test.

          The findings revealed that: 1) the developed learning management process achieved an efficiency of 85.43/83.75, which exceeded the established 80/80 criterion; 2) students' post-learning academic achievement and skills were significantly higher than their pre-learning scores at the .01 level; and 3) students' overall satisfaction with the learning process was at the highest level. Therefore, the developed learning management process effectively promotes content knowledge, dance performance skills, technology utilization, and continuous learning.
