THE DEVELOPMENT OF E-LEARNING MODULES WITH SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING IN THE MAN AND ENVIRONMENT COURSE FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AT NORTH BANGKOK UNIVERSITY

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) develop an e-learning course with self-directed learning for the Man and Environment course for undergraduate students, 2) compare the academic achievement before and after learning with the e-learning course with self-directed learning, and 3) investigate the satisfaction of undergraduate students with the e-learning course with self-directed learning for the human-environment course. The sample consisted of 50 undergraduate students at North Bangkok University, semester 1, academic year 2023, who were enrolled in group 1 of the Man and Environment course. The sampling method was cluster sampling, by drawing lots for 1 group from 3 groups. The research instruments were 1) an e-learning course with self-directed learning, 2) an academic achievement test, and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire developed by the researcher. The statistics used in the study were mean, standard deviation, and t-test.

           The research findings indicated that 1) the e-learning course with self-directed learning was effective with a score of 81.76/83.20, which was higher than the criterion of 80/80. 2) students' academic performance significantly improved after the implementation of e-learning lessons integrated with self-directed learning, with statistical significance at the .05 level, and 3) The overall satisfaction of students with the e-learning course with self-directed learning was at the highest level (= 4.57, S.D.= 0.55).
