The Situation and the Need to Develop Skills in the use of Learning Management Technology in Organizing 21St Century Mathematics Learning Activities for Junior High School Student

Abstract

          Mathematics helps human beings with creativity, to think rationally systematic, and to analyze problems or situations carefully and thoroughly. Therefore, the activities for learning mathematics Therefore, it is very necessary for education in the 21st century while technology is indispensable for the management of mathematics learning. The study of the situation and the need to develop skills in the use of learning management technology in organizing 21^st  century mathematics learning activities for junior high school student. The objective were to 1) Study the situation of developing skills in using technology in learning management, 2) Survey the need to develop skills in using technology in learning management,  and 3) Determine the development of skills using technology in learning management.  The sample were 118  people : mathematics teachers at the junior high school level.  Educational Administrators, School Administrators, Educational Administrators In the Office of Education Region 2 under the Ministry of Education, Bangkok and 4 central provinces, namely Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, Nakhon Pathom, and experts by Purposive Sampling. Research instruments were  Interview form for situations and needs to develop skills in the use of mathematics learning management technology, Curriculum Suitability Assessment form, Statistics used to analyze data were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Document Analysis. The results of the research were as follows: 1) Junior high school mathematics teachers had experience in attending the training in mathematics packages, which were voluntary training organized by external agencies and affiliated agencies. 2) Junior high school mathematics teacher,  there was  need to develop math skills such as Geometer's Sketchpad and GeoGebra, while learning management programs include Google Apps for Education and Canva. 3) The format of the training is practical exercise, the appropriate day for the training is Saturday – Sunday and the training is held for 2 days.
