The Promoting of Students’ Computational Thinking Ability by Using Blended Learning with Project-Based Learning in Computing Science Subject for Mattayom Suksa 4 Students, Phadungnari School

Abstract

The purposes of the research were to 1) study on Mattayom Suksa 4 students’ computational thinking ability performance by using blended learning with PBL in Computing Science subject of, Phadungnari School.
2) study the level of the students’ computational thinking skill, and 3) study the sample satisfaction toward the learning model. The sample of this research consisted of 41, Mattayom Suksa 4 students, Padungnari School. The research was an action research. The research instruments were; 1) two Blended learning with project-based learning lesson plans, 2) an eight items computational thinking test, and 3) a satisfaction form. The data analysis results reported with description and the statistics used mean, percentage and standard deviation.

            The research results were as follows; 1) the learning model encouraged students to work with the simulation active learning workflow, and finding the answers with various techniques by themselves.
2) the overall for the sample’s computational thinking skill was at good level (  = 26.78, S.D. = 9.46).
and 3) the students’ satisfaction toward the learning model was at the highest level (  = 3.55 ,S.D. = 0.31).
