Development of Simulation Game for Learning in Topic of MakingChiffonCakefor Bachelor Degree Students

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to develop simulation computer game for learning in topic of making chiffon cake for undergraduate students, to compare the learning achievement scores from pretest and posttest of the undergraduate students who learned from this simulation computer game for learning in topic of making chiffon cake, and to find out the effectiveness index of simulation computer game for learning in topic of making chiffon cake. The population consisted of 59 1st year undergraduate students majoring in food service industry, faculty of home economics technology, Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi in second semester of academic year 2013.The sample group using purposive selection was consisted of 20 1st year undergraduate students. Research instruments were the simulation computer game for learning in topic of making chiffon cake and the achievement test was comprised of 14 items. Data analysis was done by mean, standard deviation, t-test dependent and effectiveness index. The results of this research were as follows : A prototype of simulation computer game for learning in topic of making chiffon cake for undergraduate students, the learning achievement scores from posttest of the undergraduate students who learned from this simulation computer game for learning in topic of making chiffon cakewere higher than the learning achievement scores from pretest at.05 level of significance and the effectiveness index of simulation computer game for learning in topic of making chiffon cake was 0.65
