The Development of collaborative learning model by problem base learning with Technology-Enhanced Creative Problem-Solving Skills in Computer-2nd Subject for Grad 10 Level

Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) examine the foundational data; 2) develop a collaborative learning model based on problem-based learning and technology integration to enhance creative problem-solving skills; 3) compare students’ creative problem-solving skills before and after applying the model; and 4) evaluate the implementation of the model. The target group consisted of qualified teachers and students from Grad 10 Level at Ban Khai Witthaya School who were obtained by cluster random sampling. Research tools consisted of interview forms, meeting records, lesson plans, creative problem-solving tests, and satisfaction questionnaires. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, percentage, and dependent samples t-test.

The findings revealed that: 1) the current instruction in computer studies heavily relies on lectures, with limited integration of technology and insufficient promotion of students' creative problem-solving skills, which were found to be at a relatively low level; 2) the developed instructional model consisted of six components: principles, objectives, instructional process, roles of teachers and students, instructional responsiveness, and learning environment. The quality evaluation indicated a high level of appropriateness; 3) students’ post-instruction creative problem-solving skills were significantly higher than their pre-instruction scores at the .05 level; and 4) students' satisfaction with the learning model was at the highest level.
