Abstract

The purposes of this research were as follows: 1) to develop the online supplementary lessons to enhance practical skills with problem-based learning on Microcontroller Arduino for undergraduate students, 2) to evaluate the quality of the online supplementary lessons, 3) to compare the academic achievement of the learners before and after learning, and 4) to evaluate the satisfaction of the learners towards the online supplementary lessons. The sample group were 30 first-year undergraduate students of Computer Education of Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University who enrolled in the 2/2019 semester selected by purposive sampling. The research apparatuses were as follows: 1) the online supplementary lessons on Microcontroller Arduino, 2) the online supplementary lessons' quality assessment forms, 3) pretests and posttests, and 4) the satisfaction assessment forms of the learners. The statistics used in data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and t-test statistics. The research found that 1) the online supplementary lessons to enhance practical skills with problem-based learning on Microcontroller Arduino for undergraduate students of Computer Education of Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University had the quality of content and media production at a very good level (gif.latex?\overline{\textrm&space;{X}} = 4.53, S.D. = 0.57), 2) the academic achievement of the learners after learning was statistically significantly higher than before learning at 0.05, and 3) the overall satisfaction of the learners was at the highest level (gif.latex?\overline{\textrm&space;{X}} = 4.52, S.D. = 0.59).
