THE DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS AND LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT ON BASIC COMPUTER SKILL OF GRADE 2 STUDENTS THROUGH THE USE OF MULTIMEDIA

Abstract

The objectives of this research included: 1) To develop basic computer skill through the use of multimedia of grade 2 students so that they could make a mean skill achievement score of higher than 80% after the course; and 2) To develop the learning achievement in basic computer skill through the use of multimedia of grade 2 students so that they made a mean posttest score of 80% of the full marks or higher.  The sampling group included 30 of grade 2 students from Room No. 2/3 studying in the first semester of the academic year 2019 in Lertpanya School under the Office of Bueng-garn Educational Service Area. Samples were selected through simple random sampling.  The 3 instruments used in this research included: 1) 6 lesson plans on the use of basic computer through multimedia; 2) a basic computer skill test; and 3) a learning achievement test. The collected data were analyzed by means of calculating percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation and a t-test. The findings showed as follows: 1. For the result of basic computer skill development,  it was found as the followings: 1) The result of basic computer skill development through multimedia of grade 2 students including 6 skills with 10 marks each, totaling 60 full marks was that the students made a mean score of 52.27 or 87.11 per cent of the full marks which was higher than the prescribed criterion of 80 per cent or 48 marks i.e. the use of multimedia in basic computer skill development helped the students have higher marks than the criterion of 80; 2) The posttest result of basic computer skill test through the use of multimedia of grade 2 students with 60 marks was 87.11 per cent or the average marks of 52.27 i.e. higher than the criterion of 80 per cent; 2. For the results of learning achievement with 30 full marks, it was found that the students made a mean posttest learning achievement score of 26.53 which was equivalent to 88.43 per cent of the full marks i.e. higher than the prescribed criterion of 80 per cent with statistical significance at 0.05 level.
