Abstract:
The purposes of this research were to 1) to development of a training courses
to promote non-cognitive skill using problem-solving learning for automation control,
2) to find the index of the effectiveness of learning achievement of a training courses
to promote non-cognitive skill using problem-solving learning for automation control,
3) to assess the skill that learners demonstrate during learning, and 4) to study the
students satisfaction toward that learned the training courses to promote noncognitive
skill using problem-solving learning for automation control. Additionally,
factors influencing the training courses to promote non-cognitive skill using problem solving
learning for automation control achievement. In this research, can synthesis
ADDIE Model to system approach five steps 1) Analysis, 2) Design, 3) Development,
4) Implementation, 5) Evaluation. Learning materials were evaluated by 12 experts
from both educational and engineering fields. The samples were 150 students based
on purposive sampling chosen from undergraduate students who interested in
graphical programming for automation control. The data were collected by
observation, interview, tests, and questionnaire. The data analysis was based on
frequency, percentage, effectiveness index, t-test, and content analysis.
The research results shown as follows : 1) the development of a training
courses to promote non-cognitive skill using problem-solving learning for automation
control comprised of : principles and background, curriculum objectives, contents
and learning experiences, activities, media and learning resources, and assessment
and evaluation, the assessing the suitability of the training curriculum by the experts
was found the developed curriculum was highly suitable, 2) learners who followed
the designed learning model has higher learning achievement as 70% or more in average, 3) learning based on the designed learning model has gained the learning
knowledge of learners significantly at .05 level significant, 4) the programming skills
of learners demonstrated the good level, 5) the students opinion for training courses
to promote Non-Cognitive skill using Problem-Solving Learning for automation
control overall was at high level, 6) the there factors affecting the learning
achievement from high to low were related to 1) promoting learning by using tools
to solve problems (19%), 2) learning media especially in practice period (16%), and
3) promoting teamwork (15%).
