Abstract:
This study aimed to 1) develop learning community by integrating technology to enhance research skills of graduate students, 2) study graduate students research skills learning achievement, 3) study graduate students research work ability, and 4) assess graduate students satisfaction towards the learning community. The quasi-experimental research method was applied and the sample group was selected by using a purposive sampling method, including 12 first year graduate students of Suryadhep Teachers College, Rangsit University, Pathum Thani in Semester 1 of 2020 Academic Year. The instruments included 1) learners research learning community by integrating technology in the form of website for learning and teaching, 2) a knowledge and educational research skills assessment form, 3) an educational research work ability assessment form, and 4) a graduate students satisfaction assessment form. Percentage, mean and standard deviation (SD) as well as t-test for dependent samples were applied for statistical analysis.
The results revealed that 1) the development of community learning integrated into learning and teaching showed the highest level of suitability and the four factors consist of (1) Input (2) Process of learning (3) Output and (4) Feedback, 2) the graduate students showed the higher research learning achievement after using the community than before using it with the significant level at .05, 3) students exhibited the high level of research work ability (x = 3.93), and 4) the students had a high level of satisfaction towards the learning community (x = 4.42, S.D.=0.47).
