Abstract
This study aimed to (1) examine students’ learning outcomes when using a digital technology-based instructional manual designed to enhance reading skills, (2) investigate students’ learning behaviors during the use of the manual, (3) assess students’ satisfaction with the learning activities provided in the manual, (4) evaluate teachers’ satisfaction with the manual-based learning activities, and (5) determine the appropriateness of the technologies employed in the learning activities following the steps outlined in the manual. The target groups consisted of two samples: eight teachers from Wat Bangpleeyainai School under the Samut Prakan Primary Educational Service Area Office 2, and thirty Grade 3 students from the same school. The research instruments included a learning achievement test, a learning behavior observation form, student and teacher satisfaction questionnaires, and a technology appropriateness assessment form. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation.
The results revealed that (1) the students' post-test scores were significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the 0.01 level of significance; (2) students’ observed learning behaviors ranged between 26.67% and 100%; (3) students’ satisfaction with the digital technology-based manual and its learning activities was at the highest level ( = 4.74, SD = 0.45); (4) teachers’ satisfaction with the manual-based learning activities was also rated at the highest level (
= 4.72, SD = 0.41); and (5) the overall appropriateness of the technologies used in the learning activities was evaluated at the highest level (
= 4.62, SD = 0.44).
