A construction and efficiency validation of blended learning instruction media on interpretative reading (EN202) for undergraduate Students of Ramkhamhaeng University
Abstract:
The purposes of this research were to construct and validate the efficiency of blended
learning instruction media using a web-based tool developed for undergraduate students at
Ramkhamhaeng University studying interpretative reading (ENG 202). Validation was a two part
process consisting of comparing the students learning achievement before and after using the
instruction media and then investigating the learners satisfaction. The constructed text, exercise,
tests, and questionnaires were used to collect the data. The hypotheses of the study were that the
efficiency of the constructed tool would be in accordance with the criterion of 80/80, the level of
student achievement after using the web-based tool would be higher than the level of student
achievement before using it, and that the users would express a high level of satisfaction upon
completion of the study. Research was of a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The subjects of
the study were 30 undergraduate students who were registered for ENG 202 at Ramkhamhaeng
University.
It was found that the efficiency of the constructed tool was 80.2/80.46 which higher than
criterion, the students level of achievement after studying the construction media was higher at
the statistical significance level of .01, and the learners satisfaction was at a high level.
