Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to develop online lessons integrated with Agile teaching techniques for students in the Faculty of Economics and Protection; 2) to investigate the acceptance of these online lessons integrated with Agile teaching techniques; and 3) to evaluate the effectiveness index of students' academic achievement before and after learning through this online learning management approach. The target group consisted of 32 first-year economics students enrolled in the Basic Computer course during the second semester of the 2025 academic year, selected via purposive sampling. The research instruments included the online lessons integrated with Agile teaching techniques, an online lesson quality evaluation form, an online lesson acceptance scale, a semi-structured interview form, and an academic achievement comparative test. Data were analyzed using basic statistics, specifically mean and standard deviation.

The research findings revealed that:

1. The development of the online lessons integrated with Agile teaching techniques yielded high-quality results overall, at a high level (=4.76, S.D.=0.37). Specifically, the media aspect was at a high level (=4.83, S.D.=0.36) and the content aspect was also at a high level (=4.68, S.D.=0.37)

2. The students' level of acceptance toward the online lessons integrated with Agile teaching techniques was at a high level (=4.02, S.D.=0.81).

3. The effectiveness index of academic achievement was 0.72, indicating that the students achieved a 72% progression in their learning outcomes.
