Digital Platforms to Improve Learning Achievement on Farm Operation Planning of First-Year Vocational Certificate Students at Singburi College of Agriculture and Technology

Abstract

This study examined the effects of integrating a digital platform with active learning on learning achievement in Farm Operation Planning among First-Year Vocational Certificate Students at Singburi College of Agriculture and Technology. While many studies have confirmed the effectiveness of digital platforms in general subjects, research in agricultural vocational skill contexts remains limited. The objectives were to compare students’ learning achievement before and after using the digital platform and to investigate their satisfaction. The sample consisted of eight students. Research instruments included lesson plans integrated with the digital platform, a learning achievement test, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and paired sample t-test. The results showed that the post-test mean score (𝑥̅=14.88, 74.38%) was significantly higher than the pre-test mean score (𝑥̅=9.00, 45.00%) at the .05 level of significance (t=14.75, p< 0.001). Students’ overall satisfaction was at a high level (𝑥̅=4.40, S.D.=0.44). These findings indicate that integrating a digital platform into vocational instruction can improve learning achievement and promote positive learning attitudes.
