Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) study the conditions, problems, and requirements surrounding screening Test Kindergarten Students at Risk Students with Learning Disabilities in Thai Reading, 2) develop the mobile application for screening Test Kindergarten Students at Risk Students with Learning Disabilities in Thai Reading, and 3) findings of employing a mobile application for screening Test Kindergarten Students at Risk Students with Learning Disabilities in Thai Reading. The research was conducted by using research and development. Three phases constitute up the research. Phase 1 was designed to study the conditions, problems, and requirements surrounding Screening Test Kindergarten Students at Risk Students with Learning Disabilities in Thai Reading. Phase 2 aimed to develop the mobile application for Screening Test Kindergarten Students at Risk Students with Learning Disabilities in Thai Reading. Phase 3 focused on the findings of employing a mobile application for screening Test Kindergarten Students at Risk Students with Learning Disabilities in Thai Reading. The samples used in phases1 were teachers in kindergarten schools in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. Utilizing purposive sampling, used in phases 2 and 3 were teachers in kindergarten schools in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. Utilizing purposive sampling, research tools included a structured questionnaire, a screening questionnaire for children with intellectual disabilities, a mobile application performance assessment questionnaire, and a mobile application satisfaction questionnaire for screening preschool children at risk of intellectual disabilities. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviations.


The results showed as follows: 1) The school management about taking care of children with special needs was at the moderate level (gif.latex?\bar{x} =3.17, SD=1.34). The school had children screening at the moderate level in all aspects (gif.latex?\bar{x} =3.02, SD =1.16). Also, children screening of Thai learning disabilities was the moderate (gif.latex?\bar{x} =3.03, SD =1.22). 2) The technical level of mobile application design was at the highest level (gif.latex?\bar{x} = 4.58, SD = 0.58). In terms of overall performance, it was revealed that mobile applications were performing at the highest level (gif.latex?\bar{x} = 4.71, SD = 0.52). And 3) overall, teachers were satisfied with using the mobile application for Screening Test Kindergarten Students at Risk Students with Learning Disabilities in Thai Reading at the highest level (gif.latex?\bar{x} = 4.60, SD = 0.41).
