Effects of using different patterns of reflective learning blog in blended learning with experiential learning on teamwork ability of mass communication students
Abstract:
The purposes of research were to 1) study the effects of using patterns of reflective learning blog in blended learning with experiential learning on teamwork ability of mass communication students 2) compare teamwork ability of mass communications students between experimental group used a specific pattern of reflective learning blog and control group studied via non-pattern of reflective learning blog 3) compare teamwork behaviors of mass communications students between experimental group (used a specific pattern of reflective learning blog) and control group (studied via non-pattern of reflective learning blog). The samples of the study were 55 undergraduate students who enrolled for the Creative Thinking for Television and Radio Program in the first semester of the academic year of 2016 at the department of Radio and Television Boardcasting Technology, Faculty of Mass Communication Technology, Rajamangala University of Technology Pranakhon. The students were divided into 2 groups: 25 in experimental group and 30 students in control group. There were five research instruments: 1) 7 - weeks lesson plan 2) Learning Management System and reflective learning blog tool 3) a teamwork ability test 4) teamwork ability behaviors observation form. The data were analyzed by using mean, standard deviation, t-test for dependent sample, and t-test for independent sample. The results were as follows: 1) There was a statistical significant difference in teamwork ability of students study with specific pattern of reflective learning blog (experimental group) at .05 level of significance. 2) There was no statistical significant difference in teamwork ability between experimental group and control group at .05 level of significance. 3) There was statistical significant difference in teamwork ability behaviors between experimental group and control group at .05 level of significance.
