The Development of a Model of HyFlex Learning to Promote Academic Achievement and 21st Century Skills of Information Technology Students

Abstract

The purposes of this research were: 1) To Study the conditions, problems, and teaching methods for the subject of Website Design and Development. 2) To Develop a HyFlex Learning model. 3) To Study the results of the experiment using a HyFlex Learning model. and 4) To Evaluate the effectiveness of the HyFlex Learning model. The sample group in the research was 27 students in the Higher Vocational Certificate program, Information Technology major, Yasothon Technical College, 2nd semester, academic year 2023, who registered for the subject of Website Design and Development, using cluster random sampling. The used statistics were basic statistics, mean, standard deviation, and t-test.

The results of the research revealed that:

1. The teaching management conditions were at a high level in all aspects: including planning and designing teaching, organizing teaching activities, including media and learning resources, and measurement and evaluation. The teaching management problems were at a moderate level in all aspects: including planning and designing teaching, organizing teaching activities, using media and learning resources, and measurement and evaluation. The guidelines for organizing teaching activities were at the highest level: teaching activities, media and learning resources, and measurement and evaluation. The aspect that was at a high level was planning and designing teaching activities.

2. The HyFlex Learning model which aimed to promote academic achievement and 21st century skills of Information Technology students consisted of 5 components: 1) principles, 2) objectives, 3) content, 4) teaching activities There were 5 steps: 4.1) introduction, 4.2) teaching, 4.3) activities, 4.4) Conclusion, and 4.5) evaluating. and 5) measurement and evaluation. The appropriateness of the teaching model was at a high level. The mean was 4.37 and the standard deviation was 0.52

3. The results of the experiment using the developed learning management model showed that the efficiency of the developed HyFlex Learning model model promoted academic achievement and 21st century skills for students in the field of Information Technology was 83.97/82.65, meeting the specified criteria. The academic achievement of students who studied according to the learning management model after studying was significantly higher than before studying at a statistical level of .01, and the 21st century skills of students were at a very good level. the average score of 3.23, and a standard deviation of 0.63, and it was statistical significance at a statistical level of .01

4. The effective evaluations results of the learning management model found that the satisfaction of students who were taught according to the developed learning management model was at a very satisfactory level overall, with a mean of 4.39 and a standard deviation of 0.58, and was statistically significant at a statistical level of .01, with an effectiveness index of 0.77, which was higher than 0.50, thereby meeting the specified criteria.
