Abstract

          A Study of Problems and Needs and the Development of Computer Science Unplugged Learning Activities Based on Active Learning Model for Students in Small Schools in Phichit Province The purposes of this research were 1) to study the problems and needs of teaching and learning of Computer Science Unplugged learning activities based on the Active Learning Model for students in small schools in Phichit province 2) To develop and assess the suitability of the Computer Science Unplugged learning activities based on the Active Learning Model for students in small schools in Phichit Province by experts. The samples were 152 Computer Science teachers from schools under the Phichit Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, selected by Simple random sampling method. The research instruments consisted of the questionnaire on problems and needs in Computer Science Unplugged learning activities based on the Active Learning Model, and the developed Computer Science Unplugged learning activities. The statistics used in data analysis were Mean (M) and Standard Deviation (SD). The research findings revealed that 1) Overall, the problems and needs of Computer Science Unplugged learning activities based on the Active Learning Model for students in small schools in Phichit province is at the highest level (M = 4.54, SD = 0.71). 2) Overall, the developed Computer Science Unplugged learning activities based on the Active Learning Model for students in small schools in Phichit Province was rated at the highest level (M = 4.50, SD = 0.55) by experts.
