A Ubiquitous Cooperative Instructional System for Students Teachers in The Department of Computer Education Faculty of Education Upper North-Eastern Rajabhat University

Abstract

The main purposes were to develop a ubiquitous cooperative instructional system for student teachers in the departments of computer education, faculties of education in the upper-northeastern Rajabhat Universities. The specific objectives were; 1) to study the components of the ubiquitous cooperative instructional system, 2) to validate the efficiency of the instructional packages on ubiquitous cooperative instructional system, 3) to compare the scores before and after the student teachers studied by using the teaching packages based on the ubiquitous cooperative instructional system 4) to study students’ satisfaction toward the instructional system, and 5) to assess and certify the instructional system by educational experts. This was a research and development study. The samples in the study comprised 1) the experts in educational technology and information technology and instructional design specialists, 2) 40 student teachers from the Faculty of Education, Sakon Nakhon Rajabhat University who were obtained by purposive sampling, and 3) five educational experts in assessment and verification of the instructional system. The research instruments were 1) the instructional packages on ubiquitous cooperative instructional system, 2) an achievement test, 3) students’ satisfaction questionnaire, 4) the project skills assessment form, and 5) and the form for assessment and verification by the educational experts. The data were analyzed by using Percentage, Means, Standard Deviation, E1/E2 and t-test (Dependent samples). The research findings are as follow: 1. The ubiquitous cooperative instructional system for student teachers in departments of computer education, faculties of education in the upper-northeastern Rajabhat Universities consisted of five components: 1) Contextual Analysis, 2) Input Factors Analysis, 3) Learning Process, 4) Result, and 5) Improvement. 2. The efficiency validation of the instructional packages on ubiquitous cooperative instructional system was found that the values of E1/E2 of set learning unit 1 to 4 were as follow 79.63/80.37, 79.26/80.37, 80.74/81.48, 79.63/81.90, respectively. 3. The post-test score was higher than the pre-test at the significance level of .01. 4. The students’ satisfaction toward the ubiquitous cooperative instructional system was high. 5. The assessment and verification of the ubiquitous cooperative instructional system by the educational experts were found to be highly appropriate.
