PROMOTING ABILITY OF COMPUTATIONAL THINKING THROUGH BLENDED LEARNING MODEL BY USING INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING FOR MATTAYOMSUKSA 3 AT BURAPHAPITTAYAKARN MUNICIPAL SCHOOL

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) study the implementation of computational thinking ability promotion through inquiry-based blended learning for Mathayom 3 students at Burapha Pittayakarn Municipality School. 2) study the computational thinking ability of students after learning through inquiry-based blended learning, and 3) study the satisfaction of students towards blended inquiry-based learning. This research used PAOR action research processes which consisted of 4 steps: Plan, Action, Observe and Reflect. The target group is 25 Mathayom 3/1 students at Burapha Pittayakarn Municipality School, selected by purposive sampling. The research instruments were blended learning plans with inquiry-based learning, computational thinking ability test, individual student interviews, student diaries, and satisfaction questionnaires. The statistics used for data analysis Percentage, mean, standard deviation.

The results of the research were as follows: 1) promotion of computational thinking ability with inquiry-based blended learning using a combination of online and on-site delivery can improve computational thinking ability in each learning cycle. 2) The computational thinking ability of students after learning through inquiry-based blended learning increased. 3) The students' satisfaction with inquiry-based blended learning was at a high level.
