A STUDY OF THE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING MANAGEMENT BY TEACHERS PHICHIT PRIMARY EDUCATION SERVICE AREA OFFICE 2

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to create and develop an instrument for measuring the use of information technology in learning management by teachers under the Phichit Primary Educational Service Area Office 2, and 2) to study the level of information technology usage in learning management among these teachers. The interview sample consisted of seven teachers from the Phichit Primary Educational Service Area Office 2 in the 2022 academic year. The study sample included 285 teachers from the same office, selected using Krejcie and Morgan’s sample size determination table (1970). The research instruments consisted of a semi-structured interview with 5 questions and a 30-item rating scale questionnaire. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, one-way ANOVA, and content analysis.The findings showed that the instrument for measuring the use of information technology in learning management consisted of six dimensions, with content validity (IOC) ranging from 0.67 to 1.00. The internal reliability coefficients for each were 0.863 for the use of information technology to support content, objectives, and indicators 0.954 for supporting teaching and learning; 0.955 for supporting student learning; 0.916 for creating a learning atmosphere; 0.953 for developing instructional media; and 0.922 for assessment and evaluation. The overall reliability of the instrument was 0.953. Furthermore, the overall level of information technology usage in learning management among teachers was found to be high (M = 3.91). A comparison of mean scores indicated statistically significant differences at the .05 level in information technology usage based on teachers’ age and teaching experience, both overall and across all dimensions.
