Active Learning Management Using the Think–Pair–Share Technique in the Course of Ethics, Morality, Professional Code of Conduct for Teachers, and Education Law for Graduate Diploma in Teaching Profession Students at College of Asian Scholars

Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a learning management plan about "Morals, Ethics, Code of Conduct for Teachers, and Educational Laws." The study's evaluation was threefold: assessing the plan's efficiency against the 80/80 criterion, determining its effectiveness index, and comparing pre- and post-intervention student learning achievement. Employing a one-group pretest-posttest design, the study was conducted with 30 students from the Graduate Diploma in Teacher Professional program at the College of Asian Scholars during the second semester of the 2023 academic year. They were selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using four developing lesson plans and a 20-item, four-option multiple-choice achievement test, and were subsequently analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and a t-test for dependent samples. The findings revealed that the developed plan achieved an efficiency of process and result (E1/E2) of 89.00/96.08, markedly exceeding the established 80/80 benchmark. Furthermore, the effectiveness index of 0.6357 indicated a significant learning progression of 63.57%, surpassing the acceptable criterion of 0.50. Critically, the post-intervention learning achievement (x̅ = 38.43, S.D = 1.162) was found to be significantly higher than the pre-intervention achievement ( x̅ = 32.73, S.D = 3.065) at the .05 level, thereby affirming the efficacy of the implemented pedagogical model.
