Designing Tablet Application Learning Environment to Enhance Analytical thinking on The Principles of Computer for Vocational Certificate Student

Abstract

Since technological changes always. Tablet is a part of teaching but nature of teaching is also unfavorable for the students to learn the content. Students will continue to focus on memorization and will not be able to apply this knowledge to the real problems. This paper presents the implemented open learning environments (OLEs) to design tablet application learning environments to enhance analytical thinking. The target group consisted of 40 first year vocational certificate students. The research procedures were as followings: 1) to examine the principles and theories regarding constructivism, cognitivism, analytical thinking, multimedia learning and open learning, 2) to synthesize designing framework of tablet application learning environments to enhance analytical thinking, 3) to design and development tablet application learning environments to enhance analytical thinking. The result shows that six components to design tablet application learning environments for effective were: problem base, resource, collaborative learning, coaching, scaffolding, and analytical thinking center.
