AN INTEGRATED LEARNING ACTIVITY PACKAGE BASED ON COMPUTATIONAL CONCEPTS INTEGRATED WITH MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR SMALL PRIMARY SCHOOLS

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to (1) create a learning activity package based on computational concepts integrated with Mathematics, Science and Technology for small primary schools and (2) study teachers' opinions on a learning activity package based on computational concepts integrated with Mathematics, Science and Technology for small primary schools. The participants were 163 teachers: Mathematics teachers, Science and Technology teachers in small primary schools. It was obtained through a purposive selection of teachers who voluntarily participated in the research project. The research instruments consisted of (1 learning activity package based on computational concepts integrated with Mathematics, Science and Technology and (2) a questionnaire of teachers' opinions on learning activity package. Data were analyzed using content analysis, frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations.  The research findings were as follows: (1) The learning activity package created for mixed grades and mixed subjects, was divided into 2 learning activity packages: an activity package for students in grades 1-3 and an activity package for students in grades 4-6, each package includes a teacher's manual, learning units, and lesson plans, the video file of teacher's manual and lesson plan file (2). Teachers' opinions on the overall learning activity package were appropriate at a high level. When considering each component, the highest average was the content component, followed by the teaching and learning activity component, and teaching media. The least average is measurement and evaluation components: appropriate at a high level.
