INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN USING MICRO-LEARNING TO IMPROVE LEARNING EFFECTIVENESS IN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS COURSE

Abstract

This research aims to (1) assess the quality of instructional design using micro-learning to improve learning effectiveness in the psychological assessment for children with special needs course, and (2) compare pre-learning and post-learning achievement using microlearning. The participants are 23 graduate students from the faculty of education of Kasetsart University who registered for the psychological assessment for children with special needs course in the first semester of the academic year 2021. The research instruments were (1) an online lesson designed using microlearning, and (2) the achievement test. Statistics used to analyze the research results were mean, standard deviation, and percentage.

            The research results showed that:

            (1) the experts assess the quality of instructional design using microlearning to improve learning effectiveness in the psychological assessment for children with special needs course at the highest level (𝑥̅ = 4.67).

            (2) A Comparison of pre-learning and post-learning achievements score found that the participants average score after learning is higher than the average score before learning. The average score of pre-learning achievement was 11.09 (µ = 11.09,= 1.69), and the average score of post-learning achievement was 17.30 (µ = 17.30,= 1.23).
