THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLENDED E-LEARNING COURSES WITH BRAIN-BASED LEARNING PROCESSES TO ENHANCE STUDENT’S PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS OF UPPER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Abstract

This research aims to: 1) Develop blended e-learning courses with brain-based learning for upper elementary school students, 2) study problem-solving skills concerning blended e-learning courses with brain-based learning for upper elementary school students, 3) examine the effectiveness index of blended e-learning courses with brain-based learning for upper elementary school students, and 4) investigate the satisfaction level of upper elementary school students regarding blended e-learning courses based on the concept of brain-based learning. This is an experimental research study with a sample group of 32 students from grades 4-6. Data analysis was conducted using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, and effectiveness index. The research findings reveal that: 1) The quality assessment of the e-learning courses on problem-solving methods is at the highest level, with the highest rankings in the objectives and content aspects. 2) Post-learning problem-solving skills are significantly higher than pre-learning skills at a statistical significance level of .01. 3) The effectiveness index of blended e-learning courses with brain-based learning is 87%, indicating an 87.15% learning progress for upper elementary school students. 4) The majority of students are highly satisfied with the blended e-learning courses based on brain-based learning, reaching the highest level of satisfaction overall.
