Development of Blended E-learning Lesson Based on Design Thinking Process with Block-Based Programming on Creating Applications to Enhance Students’ Abilities to Create Innovation for Grade 9 Students

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) develop a blended e-learning lesson based on the design thinking process combined with block-based programming on the topic of application creation. 2) compare the learning achievement before and after the lesson. 3) study the capability to create innovation. 4) study the satisfaction with the learning management. The sample group consisted of 39 Grade 9 students from Ratchaborikanukroh School, Ratchaburi Province, in the first semester of the academic year 2024, selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included 1) a learning management plan 2) an e-learning lesson 3) an e-learning lesson quality assessment form 4) a learning achievement test 5) an innovation capability assessment form 6) a learning management satisfaction assessment form. The statistics used for data analysis included mean, standard deviation, percentage, and t-test.

The research findings indicated that

1) The blended e-learning lesson based on the design thinking process combined with block-based programming on the topic of application creation to enhance innovation capability for Grade 9 students was of the highest quality.

2) The post-learning achievement was significantly higher than the pre-learning achievement at the .01 level of significance.

3) The innovation capability was significantly higher than the 80% criterion at the .01 level of significance.

4) The satisfaction with the learning management was at the highest level ( = 4.54, S.D. = 0.69).
