EFFECTS OF USING THINGLINK INTERACTIVE MEDIA ON ENHANCING REASONING SKILLS OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to (1) develop an interactive ThingLink learning media to enhance undergraduate students’ reasoning skills; (2) compare students’ reasoning skills before and after learning with the interactive ThingLink media; and (3) investigate students’ satisfaction after learning with the interactive ThingLink media. The research employed an experimental design using a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The participants were 60 undergraduate students from Ramkhamhaeng University, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments consisted of the interactive ThingLink media, a reasoning skills test, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean (𝑥̄), standard deviation (S.D.), and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
The results revealed that
- The developed interactive ThingLink media showed excellent media quality and high content quality.
- Students’ reasoning skills after learning with the ThingLink media were significantly higher than before learning at the .05 level of significance.
- Students’ satisfaction with learning through the ThingLink media was at the highest level.
