Development of Instructional Model Based on Blended Learning to Enhance Designing Ability of Learning Activities for Teacher Students

Abstract

This research aimed 1) to develop an instructional model based on the blended learning concept that promotes the ability to design learning activities for teacher students 2) to compare the knowledge before and after learning management according to the developed instructional model; 3) to study the ability of design learning activities after studying with the instructional model and 4) to study the index of learning effectiveness before and after studying with the instructional model developed according to the 0.50 criterion and the efficiency of the instructional model developed according to Meguigans standard criterion. The sample used in the research was composed of 35 undergraduate teacher students of Mathematics Education in Faculty of Education and Development Sciences, Kasetsart University, Academic Year 2021. Research tools were a test and an assessment form. The data were analyzed in terms of average means, standard deviation, and t-test dependent sample. The results were as follows: 1) The developed instructional model contained principles, objectives, face-to-face teaching and learning and online learning based on a four-step learning process and evaluation. 2) The knowledge after studying with the developed instructional model was significantly higher than before at the statistical level of .01 3) The ability of design learning activities after studying with the developed instructional model is at the highest level. 4) The index of learning effectiveness of teacher students before and after learning with the developed instructional model had value of 0.67 according to the index of learning effectiveness of 0.50 and the efficiency of the developed instructional model was 1.08 according to the Meguigans standard criterion.
