Multimedia Computer-Based Lessons on Programming with Scratch in Technology Integrated with the TGT Cooperative Learning Technique to Enhance Learning Achievement and Teamwork Ability of Thai Grade 7 Students

The purposes of the current study were to examine the effectiveness of the multimedia computer-based lessons on programming with Scratch in Technology integrated with the TGT cooperative learning technique based on the 80/80 efficiency criterion, to compare the learning achievement of Grade 7 students between those taught using multimedia computer-based lessons integrated with TGT and those taught using traditional instructional methods, to investigate the teamwork skills of Grade 7 students when learning through multimedia computer-based lessons integrated with the TGT cooperative learning technique, and to explore students' satisfaction with the multimedia computer-based lessons integrated with the TGT cooperative learning technique. The study employed experimental research design, comparing the learning achievement and teamwork skills of students who learned with Scratch and TGT (n=40) to those who received traditional instruction (n=40). The research instruments included a Scratch-TGT integrated learning plan, a learning achievement test, a teamwork skills assessment, and a student satisfaction questionnaire. The findings indicated that the Scratch and TGT integrated learning approach was highly effective. The process and product effectiveness scores met the 80/80 efficiency criterion, and the experimental group outperformed the control group in learning achievement. Additionally, students' teamwork skills were rated at a very high level. Student satisfaction was also at a very high level, which indicates positive engagement with the integrated approach.
