Development of a Simulation Learning Activity Model Combined with a 3D Geography Map Learning Kit on the Topic of Asia for Mathayom 1 Students Bamnejnarongwittayakom School, Bamnejnarong District, Chaiyaphoom Province

Abstract

             The objectives of this study are 1) to study the demand for learning simulation with a 3D geography map learning kit on the topic of Asia; 2) to develop a learning activity model for simulation with a 3D geography map learning kit on the topic of Asia; 3) to study the results of experimenting with the learning activity model; and 4) to study students’ satisfaction with learning according to the learning activity model. The sample group used in this study was 26 Mathayom 1/1 students in the second semester of the 2023 academic year at Bamnet Narong Wittayakhom School, which were obtained by cluster random sampling using the classroom as the sampling unit. The researcher-created research instruments consisted of 1) learning management plans according to the model; 2) a 3D geography map learning kit on the topic of Asia; 3) an achievement test; 4) a geography skills assessment; and 5) a satisfaction questionnaire. Data analysis included percentages, means, and standard deviations. And hypothesis testing with Dependent samples t-test statistics.
              The research results found that:
              1. The level of learning need for simulation learning with 3D Geography Map Learning Kit on Asia is at the highest level.
               2. The format of learning activities in simulation learning with 3D Geography Map Learning Kit on Asia has 5 components: 1) Principles of the format 2) Expected learning outcomes 3) 6 steps of learning management process consisting of Step 1, Motivation and Brainstorming Step 2, Learning Planning Step 3, Perception Step 4, Learning Action Step 5, Reflection Step 6, Summarizing Step 4) Learning Support and 5) Measurement and Evaluation.                   3. The results of implementing the learning activity model were 82.60/83.56, which were higher than the predetermined criterion of 80/80.
             4. Students were most satisfied with the learning activities organized with the 3D Geography Map Learning Kit on the topic of Asia.
