DEVELOPMENT OF FLIPPED CLASSROOM TEACHING MODEL TO IMPROVE RESEARCH ABILITY OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

บทคัดย่อ

                The objectives of this research were 1) to examine the factors to improve research ability of undergraduate students, 2) to develop flipped classroom teaching model to improve research ability of undergraduate students and 3) to examine the results of flipped classroom teaching model to improve research ability of undergraduate students. The methodology was divided into 3 phases. A total of 150 students and 5 lecturers of educational research methods course in semester 1 academic year 2023 from Yulin Normal University who’ majoring in primary education were obtained as population for eliciting factors affecting research ability. Phase 2 required the target group of 3 experts to confirm of developed instructional model within 4 standards i.e., 1) utility 2) feasibility 3) propriety and 4) accuracy. The final phase was for examining the results of implementing the developed instructional model, the data of which were collecting from 46 students who enrolled in educational research methods course of Yulin Normal University. The research tools were 1) a set of questionnaires for students, and lecturers’ interview, 2) a set of questionnaires for flipped classroom teaching model,
3) lesson plans using flipped classroom teaching model, and 4) Scoring rubrics form
for research ability of Yulin Normal University undergraduate students. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean score and standard deviation. Scoring rubrics were employed to assess sample group’s research ability.

The results revealed the following 1) The findings from the study highlight two key factors influencing research ability in educational research methods courses: internal and external factors. Internal factors include interest, motivation, and physical health, while external factors encompass teaching methods, time management, and environmental factors. These factors synergistically impact students' research skills., 2) A flipped classroom teaching model was developed and evaluated by specialists, meeting utility, feasibility, propriety, and accuracy standards. The model comprises five components: principle and rationale, objectives, contents, teaching methods and materials, and evaluation. This model aims to enhance vocational undergraduate students' research ability effectively and ,3) The effectiveness of the flipped classroom teaching model in improving undergraduate students' research ability is underscored by the influence of internal and external factors. Teachers play a crucial role in fostering students' research skills by addressing these factors and emphasizing practical evaluation methods.
