Abstract
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused teachers and students to adapt to an unprecedented challenge and rapidly transition from traditional face-to-face instruction to distance learning formats through online classes. According to evidence from the previous study, traditional teaching methods on online learning platforms, which only involve lectures without any other learning activities, result in students feeling more easily bored and having less concentration. League Learning, a teaching method based on the competition patterns of Esports, was used in this study to examine students' perspectives. The satisfaction of students towards League Learning method with the online learning platform was studied. The sample group consisted of 28 undergraduate students from the Department of Computer Education, Faculty of Technical Education, King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok. Data analysis was conducted using mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The research results show that 1) the posttest was significantly higher than the pretest at the .01 level of statistical significance, 2) the overall satisfaction of the students towards the League Learning model was at the highest level ( = 4.37, S.D. = 0.70). This teaching method and its activities can be applied to the major course to make it more effective. League Learning method received positive feedback from the students and showed many valuable advantages aside from the learning achievement.
