The Improvement of Learners' Academic Achievement using Instructional Animation Media on Flux-Covered Arc Welding

Abstract

The objectives of this research are: 1) To create an educational animation cartoon on the topic of welding electrodes. 2)To determine the quality of the educational animation cartoon on the topic of welding electrodes. 3) To measure the learning achievement of students who study through the educational animation cartoon on the topic of welding electrodes.4) To assess the attitudes of students towards the educational animation cartoon on the topic of welding electrodes. The sample group used in this research consists of 20 second-year students in the Automatic Mechanical Engineering Program at Rajamangala University of Technology Isan, Khon Kaen Campus. The research tools include: 1) The educational animation cartoon on the topic of welding electrodes. 2) Content Quality Assessment Form and Animation Media Evaluation Form 3) The learning achievement test. 4) The questionnaire measuring students' attitudes. Quantitative data analysis employs statistical methods such as mean, standard deviation, and hypothesis testing using the pair sample t-test.

           The research findings indicate that: 1)The developed animated teaching media on welding electrode met the required quality standard of not less than 80%. 2) The content quality of the animated teaching media on welding electrode was rated as good, with an average score of 4.13, which is 82.6%. The animation quality was rated as very good, with an average score of 4.55, which is 90.5%. 3)The learning achievement using the animated teaching media on welding electrode was significantly higher than before using the media at the 0.05 level of significance. 4) Learners' satisfaction with the developed animated teaching media on welding electrode welding was rated as very high overall.
