Developing a Set of Learning Activities on Looking at Nature Together with the Use of the Google Earth Program of Prathomsuksa 5 students at Bandonkrachay School, Phayuha Khiri District, Nakhon Sawan Province

Abstract

The purposes of this research article were 1) to study the efficiency of developing a learning activity set on Looking at Nature together with the use of the Google Earth program of Prathomsuksa 5 students according to the 80/80 criterion; 2) to compare the learning achievement before learning and after learning the activity set as well as developing a set of learning activities on Looking at Nature together with the use of the Google Earth program; and 3) to study student satisfaction towards learning by developing a set of learning activities on Looking at Nature together with the use of the Google Earth program of Prathomsuksa 5 students. This was a pre- experimental research with a population of 8 people. The data was analyzed by finding efficiency according to the E₁/E₂ criteria, finding the IOC value, testing, and finding the average and standard deviation from the satisfaction questionnaire. The results of the research found that 1) the efficiency was equal to (E1) 80.42/ (E2) 87.50, which met the criteria of 80/80; 2) to compare the learning achievement before and after learning, the learning achievement of students was at a higher rate. The mean score before use was 24.13 and the mean score after use was 26.25. The mean score after use was higher than the mean score before use and after use. It had a smaller standard deviation than before using it, statistically significant at the .01 level; and 3) the results of student satisfaction after using the learning activity set: No. 1 in terms of content, satisfaction was at a high level (=4.40); No. 2 in terms of value and the benefits received, satisfaction was at a high level (=4.21); No. 3 was illustrations and maps, satisfaction was at a high level =4.08); No. 4 in language use, satisfaction was at a high level (=3.81) and No. 5 in terms of exercises at the end of the chapter, satisfaction was at a high level (=3.68).
