Learning Achievement through Scratch-Based Learning Activity Packages in The Computing Science Subject for Grade 6 Students at Banpaknasuan School

Abstract

     This research aimed to: (1) determine the efficiency of Scratch-based learning activity packages for Grade 6 students based on the efficiency criterion of 80/80, (2) compare students’ learning achievement before and after using the Scratch-based learning activity packages, and (3) examine students’ satisfaction toward learning through the developed activity packages. The sample consisted of 16 Grade 6 students from Ban Pak Na Suan School, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included the Scratch-based learning activity packages, a learning achievement test, and a student satisfaction questionnaire. The study employed a quasi-experimental research design using a one-group pretest–posttest design.

          The results revealed that the learning activity packages achieved an efficiency level of E1/E2=81.00/80.00, which met the predetermined efficiency criterion of 80/80. The students’ post-test mean score (𝑥̅=15.88, S.D.=0.81) was significantly higher than the pre-test mean score (𝑥̅=9.25, S.D.=1.00) at the .05 level of statistical significance. Furthermore, students’ satisfaction toward the learning activities was at a high level. These findings indicate that the Scratch-based learning activity packages effectively enhanced students’ learning achievement and were appropriate for instructional use at the primary education level.
