The Development of Digital Learning Model by Situated Learning and Anticipatory Learning with Self-Regulated Learning to Improve the Critical Thinking Ability of Correctional Officer

Abstract

           The purposes of the research study were  1) to study the elements of the digital learning model by situated learning and anticipatory learning with  self-regulated learning to improve the critical thinking of correctional officer.2) to create the digital learning model by situated learning and anticipatory learning with self-regulated learning to improve the critical thinking of correctional officer. 3) to experiment with the digital learning model by situated learning and anticipatory learning with self-regulated learning to improve the critical thinking of correctional officer.  4)  to assess the learner satisfaction toward the digital learning model by situated learning and anticipatory learning with self-regulated learning to improve the critical thinking of correctional officer  that constructed by research. The samples were 30 correctional officers at the Sawankhalok District Prison  by purposive sampling. The research instruments were 1) The critical thinking ability test.   2)  Questionnaire on satisfaction with digital learning model.                3)  appropriateness of digital learning model assessment. The statistics used for data analysis include  mean ( ), standard deviation (S.D.), and dependent Samples t-test.
           The results of the research showed that :
           1. There was 8 elements in the digital learning model via situated learning and anticipatory learning with self-regulated learning to improve the critical thinking ability of correctional officer. Namely 1)  Digital Technology and Digital Learning Devices 2) Digital Learning Environment 3) Learning Content 4) Situational and anticipatory Context 5) Self-Regulated Learning Strategies 6) stakeholders 7) Training Activities 8) Assessment. And the digital learning model consisted of 4 main steps : 1) Step for lesson introduction  2) Step for using self-regulation strategies in learning 3) Step for learning in a situational and anticipatory context 4) Step for measurement and evaluation. And this model consisted of  20 sub-learning steps.
           3. The digital Learning Model consists of 8 elements and 4 main steps with 20 sub-steps as follows : 1) Digital Technology and Digital Learning Devices 2) Digital Learning Environment 3) Learning Content 4) Situational and anticipatory Context 5) Self-Regulated Learning Strategies  6) stakeholders  7) Training Activities 8) Assessment. And the digital learning model consisted of 4 main steps and 20 sub-learning steps : 1) Step for lesson introduction  2) Step for using self-regulation strategies in learning 3) Step for learning in a situational and anticipatory context 4) Step for measurement and evaluation. And this model consisted of  20 sub-learning steps.  1) Introduction of the Lesson 1.1) Orientation to the Lesson 2) Self-Regulated Learning Methods 2.1) Pre-test 2.2) Acknowledge Pre-test Results   3) Set Learning Goals and Plan 2.4) Define and Record Learning Objectives 2.5) Define and Record for Success and Penalty for Failure 2.6) Define and Record Learning Environment 2.7) Learning Lesson Content 3) Learning in  Situational and Anticipatory Context 3.1) Situational and Anticipatory Context 3.2) Problem-Based Learning and Understanding Issues with Learners at the Center 3.3) Learning in Analyzing Problems from Real Situations or Past Lessons 3.4) Learning in Planning Problem-Solving Approaches 3.5) Learning in Considering Solution Options 3.6) Learning in Summarizing Principles and Problem-Solving Methods 3.7) Learning in Evaluating Results 3.8) Exercise Lesson 3.9) Learning Additional Content from External Learning Source 3.10) Record Activities 4) Measurement and Evaluation  4.1) Post-test 4.2) Reward for Success, i.e., Certificate, and Penalty of Failure, i.e., Restart Learning.
           3. It was found that after learning form the digital learning model by situated learning and anticipatory learning with self-regulated learning to improve the critical thinking ability the correctional officer’ s critical thinking score was higher than before learning at .01 level of significance.
           4. The learner’s satisfaction toward the digital learning model by situated learning and anticipatory learning with self-regulated learning to improve the critical thinking ability of correctional officer were at the high level.
