The Development of a Blended Learning Management Model with a Project Base Virtual Classroom for Basic Computer Subjects

The purposes of this research were to: 1) to develop a blended learning management model through project-based virtual classrooms in educational computer program courses., and 2) to study the results of using a blended learning management model through project-based virtual classrooms in educational computer programming courses. The research uses a purposive sampling selection, the sample groups of the research were 15 Second-year students with a bachelor's degree in Teacher Training in the Electrical Engineering Department, at King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok. the data analysis by descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation and inference statistics via using t-test. The research tools used in this research are: 1) Virtual classrooms used for online learning, 2) Achievement tests 3) Project assessment forms for Basic Computer Subjects, and 4) Satisfaction Assessment. The research results show that 1) the efficiency of the blended learning management model through project-based virtual classrooms had the efficient of 80.26/81.67 higher than the 80/80 criteria., 2) the learning achievement of students after studying is significantly higher than before studying at a statistically significant level of .01. 3) the students’ satisfaction with the blended learning management model was at a high level (M=4.43, SD.=0.63) and 4) the evaluation results of students’ basic computer work development were higher than the established threshold of 80 percent.
