The Development of Learning Achievement on the Data Structures and Algorithms using Techniques of using Job Sheet Method

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to develop students’ learning achievement in the course of Data Structures and Algorithms by using job sheet, 2) to examine students’ learning behaviors in the course of Data Structures and Algorithms by using job sheet, and 3) to study students’ satisfaction towards learning with the job sheet. The samples were 44 third-year students who studied the course of data structures and Algorithms in the second of semester academic year 2017. The samples were selected by the purposive sampling technique. The research instruments were 1) a lesson plan, 2) learning activity sheets, 3) an achievement test, and 4) a student satisfaction evaluation. Data was analyzed in terms of percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test dependent.

The research findings showed that the 1. There was a statistically significant difference between the students’ learning achievement before and after using techniques of job sheet teaching method at the .05 level. 2. Students were interested in learning activities. They were enthusiastic to participate in class both learning with theory and practice section efficiently. 3. The students’ satisfaction towards learning with the job sheet, in overall, was at highest level. When considering each aspect, it was found that the two aspects were at the highest level were contents, and activities.
