Abstract

The MAPPA platform is a digital learning application that operates both online and offline to support preschoolers’ development and learning. Parents, teachers, or caregivers use this platform with preschoolers. It is developed within the framework of the Ontario curriculum, Multiple Intelligences, and Executive Functions. The aim of this research was to answer how MAPPA platform learning outcomes correspond to Thai preschoolers according to the desired outcomes indicated in an Early Childhood Curriculum B.E. 2560 (A.D. 2017). Samples consisted of 9 experts to evaluate the congruence of 4 domains: physical development, emotional development, social development, and cognitive development. The five-rating scale of the IOC evaluation form is used to analyze the data. Data analysis were frequency, mean, and content analysis. Findings found that 33 indicators of MAPPA platform learning outcomes are congruent with Thai context under the early childhood curriculum B.E. 2017 (M = 4.70, SD =.31). Moreover, all domains of development are congruent at the highest level; cognitive development is the most congruent, followed by physical development, social development, and emotional development.
