The research and development of instructional design model for Massive Open Online Course in Higher Education for Educational Courses

Abstract

                   The research and development of instructional design model for Massive Open Online Courseware in Higher Education for Educational Courses by using Research and Development as a type of research. For objectives, this research aim 1) to analyze method of teaching in Massive Open Online Courseware of learning in Thailand and foreign countries, 2) to develop instructional design model for Massive Open Online Courseware in Higher Education, 3) to study learning outcome and learning behavior of learner by using the developed instructional design model for Massive Open Online Courseware in Higher Education, and 4) to study opinion of instructor and student toward the developed instructional design model for Massive Open Online Courseware in Higher Education. Research samples composed of learners and instructors:  Firstly, learners who enrolled in 6 courses by using Thai MOOC system. Including, Creative Movement Activities for Young Children, Human and His Environment, Technique and Method of instruction, Educational Research, Children’s Illustration Design, and Technology and Innovation for Education. Secondly, instructors who teach in 6 courses by using Thai MOOC system. Research instruments include: 1) expert interview about instructional design model for Massive Open Online Courseware in Higher Education for Educational Courses, 2) instructors questionnaire about instructional design model for Massive Open Online Courseware in Higher Education for Educational Courses, 3) appropriateness evaluation of instructional design model for Massive Open Online Courseware in Higher Education for Educational Courses, and 4) satisfaction evaluation of instructor and learner about teaching and learning with Massive Open Online Courseware in Higher Education for Educational Courses.

               The research found that 1. There are 7 methods of teaching; lecture, discussion, case study, collaboration, problem based, demonstration, and inquiry based. 

               2.There are 7 main components of the instructional design model for Massive Open Online Courseware in Higher Education for Educational Courses, 1) introduction to the course, 2) structure of the course, 3) learning Plan, 4) the content of the course used in teaching, 5) learning media, 5) management and tracking of learning, and 6) measurement and evaluation. The steps of the instructional design model compose of 3 steps; first is duration of learning, there is 12 hours in each course and it take up to 6 weeks. The next is content presentation include video, learning materials, more learning resources, handout and end of unit questions, and test. Finally, it is method of teaching and interaction there are method of teaching, encouraging interaction between learner and learner, and encouraging interaction between learner and teacher. The result of appropriateness evaluation from 5 experts found that the instructional design model for Massive Open Online Courseware in Higher Education for Educational Courses can be used appropriately.     

1. The learners’ outcome in these 6 courses are assessed by an average of 36.85% from all of learner in each course. For the learning analytics, these 6 courses are in the good level.


2. The opinions of instructor and student toward the developed instructional design model for Massive Open Online Courseware in Higher Education are good level.
