Abstract

          The objectives of this research were 1) to compare critical thinking skills integrated with natural language processing (NLP) technology for developing character design data table in animation before and after conducting the activities, and 2) to assess satisfaction with the learning activities. The population consisted of 52 third-year undergraduate students in the Animation, Game, and Digital Media program at Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University, enrolled in the 3D Animation course during the 2024 academic year. Research instruments included 1) a lesson plan for learning activities titled " A Learning Activity to Enhance Critical Thinking Skills through the Use of Natural Language Processing Technology for Developing Animation Character Design Sheets," 2) a pre- and post-assessment of critical thinking skills, and 3) a satisfaction survey regarding the learning activities. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The results showed that 1) post-activity critical thinking skills scores were significantly higher than pre-activity scores at the .05 level, and 2) the overall satisfaction with the learning activities was at the highest level.
