Blended learning through competency-based teaching plan integrating a project-based learning process and computer assisted instruction on Web application development with PHP language

Abstract

The aims of the research were 1) to develop an effective a computer-assisted instruction on web application development with PHP language, web programming course for blended learning through competency-based teaching plan integrating a project-based learning process, 2) to implement blended learning module through competency-based teaching plan integrating a project-based learning process and computer-assisted instruction on web application development with PHP language, and 3) to study the learners' satisfaction with blended learning module through competency-based teaching plan integrating a project-based learning process and computer-assisted instruction. Twenty seven third-year students, who were studying in computer science program, Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University in the first semester of academic year 2016 were targeted participants of this study. The instruments in the study consisted of 1) experimental instruments, including a competency-based teaching plan, a computer-assisted instruction on web application development with PHP language which was approved by 3 experts and 2) data collection instruments for statistical analysis, which comprised performance evaluation forms for the effects of blended learning through competency-based teaching plan integrating a project-based learning process and computer-assisted instruction, pre-test, formative scoring forms, a project evaluation rubric, post-test, and a satisfactory survey. The findings of the study were as follows. 1) The average score of a computer-assisted instruction was highly positive (X̅ = 4.82, S.D. = 0.33). 2) The average IOC score of blended learning through competency-based teaching plan integrating a project-based learning process and computer-assisted instruction on web application development with PHP language was highly positive and the effective score a computer-assisted instruction was 88.30/84.34 which were higher than the expected criterion. Students’ learning achievement after blended learning through competency-based teaching plan integrating a projectbased learning process and computer-assisted instruction was significantly higher at .05 level and 3) The students’ satisfaction was highly positive (X̅ = 4.73, S.D. = 0.46). This research accomplished the intended purpose.
