The Development of an Instructional Model for Self-Discovery Learning for Online Teaching: Foundation of Education Course

บทคัดย่อ

          As online education has become increasingly prevalent, there is a growing need to develop innovative teaching models that can effectively engage students and enhance learning outcomes. This study aimed to: 1) develop a Self-Discovery Learning (SDL) teaching model for online instruction, 2) compare students' academic performance between pre-test and post-test results using this model, and 3 ) assess student satisfaction with the implemented teaching model. A sample of 30 students was selected using stratified random sampling. The statistical methods employed in the study involved paired t-tests to compare academic achievement results and descriptive statistics to analyze student satisfaction levels.
          Results indicated the following: 1) the development of the model for online teaching in the basic education curriculum: The development of the teaching model followed the principles of constructivism, emphasizing learning through creation, collaboration, and knowledge construction linked to real-world contexts. The SDL model was applied across four lessons, integrating digital tools and interactive learning activities. The model effectively supported: Learning through creation; Emphasizing the importance of working with tangible elements; Encouraging creative learning and collaboration; Facilitating knowledge construction linked to context; and Incorporating online teaching techniques. 2) The comparison results demonstrated a significant improvement in academic achievement. On average, students showed a marked increase in their post-test scores across multiple lessons, indicating that the SDL model effectively enhanced student knowledge and understanding. The paired t-test results revealed statistically significant differences, confirming the model's positive impact on academic performance; and 3) Results of the evaluation of student satisfaction with the model for online teaching in the basic education curriculum: The evaluation of student satisfaction revealed that learners were highly satisfied with the teaching model. Key factors contributing to their satisfaction included the variety of learning processes, the use of digital tools, and the clarity of learning objectives. The overall satisfaction rating was very high, suggesting that the model not only improved academic outcomes but also created an engaging and enjoyable learning experience. In conclusion, the developed SDL model effectively improved student academic achievement and satisfaction by incorporating constructivist principles, digital tools, and interactive learning activities, fostering creative learning, collaboration, and real-world knowledge construction.
