Creation of Learning Digital Platform to Promote Well- being towards New Normal According to EmergingInfectious Disease of Learning Disabilities Students inBangkok School for Quality of Life

Abstract

          This research aimed to 1) study the general information and characteristics of digital technology usage by teachers related to students with learning disabilities in special education schools in Bangkok  (joint learning) 2) create and study the results of using a digital learning platform to promote well-being in the lives of students with learning disabilities in schools in Bangkok to improve their quality of life 3) assess the opinions of teachers towards the digital learning platform. The sample group used in this research included teachers who are responsible for students with learning disabilities about 27 teachers selected by purposive sampling. The research tools used include 1) questionnaires, 2) pre-test and post-tests, 3) assessment form of digital learning platform usage, and 4) assessment form of teacher opinions towards the digital learning platform. The statistical analysis used included percentage, average, and standard deviation.     Most teachers are proficient in using [the technology] independently.

The research findings were as follows:

1. The analysis of general information data and the characteristics of digital technology usage by teachers related to students with learning disabilities showed that the majority of teachers utilized digital technology through mobile phones/smart phones channels for their operation the most, and most teachers were proficient in using the technology independently.. As for data on the behavior and problems of students with learning disabilities, it was found that in reading, overall skills were at a low level; in writing, overall skills were at a moderate level; and in calculation, overall skills were at a low level. The data regarding the behaviors and problems of students with learning disabilities showed that their reading skills were at a low level, writing skills were at an average level, and calculation skills were at a low level.
2. The analysis of data regarding the creation of a digital learning platform model using a skill training set found that the behaviors and problems of LD students in reading, such as spelling, reading comprehension, writing, such as writing letters upside down, and calculation, such as solving problems of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division incorrectly. As for the results of data analysis from the pre- and post-tests using the skill training set, it was found that after using the skill training set, the average score was higher than before using the skill training set. The results of data analysis from the comparative evaluation of the use of the digital platform for skill training sets of students with learning disabilities found that in reading, writing, and calculation, the scores at the second time after using the skill training set were higher than the first time. The results of the comparison of scores at the second time improved more than the scores at the first time with statistical significance at the 0.01 level.

3. The analysis of data regarding teacher opinions towards the digital learning platform showed that teachers overall, were most satisfied with the skill training set. This was because the digital platform of the skill training set was a technology that facilitated in various forms and could effectively promote their learning for LD students.
