Developing the Learning Package for Innovators in Ceramic Design to Express the Identity of Khon Kaen Province of Grade 10 Students Using Design Thinking Learning Model

Abstract

This research aimed to: (1) develop a learning activity package on ceramic design to reflect the identity of Khon Kaen Province; (2) study the effectiveness of design thinking-based instruction with an average achievement score of no less than 80%; (3) examine students' innovator competencies; and (4) investigate students’ satisfaction toward the instructional approach. The sample group consisted of 12 Grade 10 students who enrolled in the Ceramic Product Design course during the first semester of the 2024 academic year. The research instruments included: (1) seven lesson plans covering a total of 16 hours, which were evaluated by experts and received an average score of 4.99 with a standard deviation of 0.02; (2) one post-instruction product/performance assessment form, with an average score of 95.67 or 95.67%; (3) a student satisfaction questionnaire on the design thinking-based learning activities, with a mean score of 4.96 and a standard deviation of 0.06; (4) a learning activity package evaluation form, which received an average score of 4.96 with a standard deviation of 0.06; (5) an innovator competency assessment form, which yielded an average score of 4.96 and a standard deviation of 0.06; and (6) an innovation assessment form, with a consistency index (IOC) of 0.50 or higher, indicating an acceptable level of agreement among experts.
