Abstract

The purposes of this study were to study grade 11 students’ learning and innovation skills after implementing learning activities based on design thinking process with family and community engagement. Furthermore, it compared the Grade 11 students’ learning and innovation skills between post-test and the criterion (70 percent). The study also aimed to investigate the Grade 11 students’ satisfaction towards the learning activities based on design thinking process with family and community engagement. This research used a quasi-experimental research methodology with a one group posttest only design. The samples consisted of 35 Grade 11 students, who were divided into 10 groups. There were 3-5 students in each group. The samples were selected through purposive sampling technique from Chalermkwansatree School in the first and second semesters of 2021 academic year. Lesson plans; a rubric-based assessment of learning and innovation skills form; and satisfaction assessment questionnaires constituted the research instrument. Percentage, Mean, Standard deviation: SD, and a One-sample t-test were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that 5 groups (50 percent) of students were in the high level of learning and innovation skills, 4 groups (40 percent) were in the highest level of learning and innovation skills, and the remaining group (10 percent) learning and innovation skills was at the intermediate level. The Grade 11 students’ learning and innovation skills were enhanced and significantly higher than the criterion (70 percent) at .05 level; while, students’ satisfaction towards learning activities was at the high level (Mean = 4.27, SD = 0.16).
