Abstract:
This research aimed to 1) develop a self-learning package in fine motor development for Down syndrome children in Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Special Education Center, Nakhon Nayok, 2) compare the fine motor skill development scores of Down syndrome children before and after using the self-learning package, and 3) identify Down syndrome children satisfaction on using the self-learning package. The sample group of this research was consisted of 7 Down syndrome children in Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Special Education Center, Nakhon Nayok in academic year 2016. The research instruments were consisted of the self-learning package in fine motor development for Down syndrome children, fine motor skill development test, and the Down syndrome children satisfaction observation form. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and dependent sample t-test. The research revealed that 1) the efficiency of the self-learning package in fine motor development for Down syndrome children was 77.78/76.51, 2) the fine motor skill development score of Down syndrome children before using the self-learning package was 55.14, SD =3.72 while the score after using the self-learning package was 68.86, SD =2.73 which showed significant difference between the pretest and posttest score at .05 level, 3) Down syndrome children satisfaction on using the self-learning package was at the highest level.
