Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to implement and study the effectiveness of activities, 2) to assess the learning effectiveness of students, 3) to assess teamwork, and 4) to assess the students' opinions during active learning activities with working SCRUM methodology via ClassStart online classroom to encourage learning effectiveness and teamwork of the students in Department of Animation and Digital media. The sample consisted of 18 undergraduate students who were studying in the Department of Animation and Digital Media. The tools used were 1) the learning activity plans, 2) the ClassStart online classroom system, 3) the learning activity evaluation form, 4) the learning effectiveness evaluation form, 5) the student teamwork evaluation form, 6) the teamwork observation form, and 7) the student’s opinion evaluation form. The data were statistically analyzed by mean, standard deviation, and the efficiency of E1 / E2.

The results of this research showed that learning activities that have been developed include 1) the prescription of the assignments according to the team's needs, 2) the delivery of work was completed in each cycle, 3) the teams members reported the progress, and 4) the teams members had the meeting via ClassStart, 4) the result of the effectiveness of learning activities which evaluated by experts was suitability at a high level ( = 4.19, S.D.= 0.67), 5) the evaluation result of the quality from experimental group had an efficiency value of 80.41 / 80.63 which was higher than criteria 80/80, 6) the evaluation result of the effectiveness of learning was 0.667 which indicated that students increased the knowledge at 66.7 percent, 7) the evaluation result of the students' teamwork was at a high level ( = 3.86, S.D.= 0.75), 8) the result of the teamwork observation by the instructors was at a high level ( = 3.95, S.D.= 0.54), and 9) overall, the result of the students’ opinions was at a high level ( = 4.15, S.D.= 0.70) which indicated that the learning activities were appropriate and could be used to manage the learning efficiently.
