Designing Learning Environment to Encourage the Engineering Design in the setting of FLIPPED Classroom for Design and Technology Courses

Abstract

This study uses the constructivist learning environment (CLE) as the basis for designing and developing a learning environment including learning management system (LMS) which occurs in pattern of online learning environment called SOCIALClassnet. The objective of this study are designing and developing the LMS to encourage the engineering design in the setting of flipped classroom for first trimester 2019 of Design and technology course. Subjects of this study are 30 students of Mathayom 1 , Nong Waeng Witthaya School, Thailand. The study design is one group pretest-posttest. The results are analyzed as quantitative and qualitative data. The framework of LMS that encouraging the engineering design in the setting of flipped classroom is consists of 1) Problem-based learning 2) Resource of knowledge 3) Cognitive tools 4) Case-related situation 5) Scaffolding 6) Coaching 7) Social support. Verifying efficacy by experts and the evaluation process are 1) Learning environmental design, knowledge content, media and technology and assessment 2) Capability in engineering design 3) Learners’ opinions in knowledge content, media and design 4) Learning achivement
