The Development of Mobile Learning Application via Android Operating System on the Topic of Digestive System Science Learning Area for Mathayomsuksa 2nd Students

Abstract

The purposes of this research were as follows: (1) to develop the  mobile learning application via android operating system on the topic of digestive system, (2) to estimate students’s learning achievement from the value of t-test based-on pre-test and post-test scores and (3) to evaluate the students satisfaction toward the  mobile learning application via android operating system on the topic of digestive system in science learning area for Mathayomsuksa 2^nd students.  The sample of the study was 40 students at  Wat Khien Khet School who were studying in high school level 2^nd in the second semester of the academic year 2015, Thanyaburi Pathumthani. Additionally, the cluster random sampling technique is used to define the sampling group .  The research instruments are the mobile learning application via android operating system on the topic of digestive system, the learning  achievement test and student’s satisfaction survey . The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-test for dependent samples.

The result of this research were as follows: (1) the quality of mobile learning application via android operating system on the topic of digestive system was an excellent level ( = 4.91, SD = 0.14)  in regard to the learning contents and the production of the application ( = 4.61, SD = 0.29), (2) the values of mean in post-test score is higher than the values of mean in pre-test score this indicated that the level of student’s learning achievement is higher at 0.05 significant level. (3) the values of mean for students statistics towards the mobile learning application via android operating system on the topic of digestive system was at the highest level ( = 4.62, SD = 0.07).
