Improving the Effectiveness of Undergraduate Students’ Core Competencies Using the Google Classroom
摘要
This experimental research aimed to (1) develop active learning applications for Google Classroom to enhance core competencies of vocational students, and (2) measure and assess students’ core competencies after using these applications. The study focused on Quizizz as the active learning tool. Participants included 61 undergraduate students from the Department of Microbiology at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, enrolled in the 2023 academic year. Data were collected through observations, pre- and post-tests, and self-assessments. Results showed that the post-test average was 15.60 points (SD = 2.05), compared to a pre-test average of 11.05 points (SD = 1.92). The t-value was 18.03, and the Sig. Value was 0.006, indicating a statistically significant improvement. The overall core competency score was 80.39%, classified as very good. Computing & ICT Literacy scored the highest at 90.45%, followed by Communication at 84.52%, and Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving at 79.10%. Creativity scored the lowest at 71.05%. These findings aligned with the self-assessment results, which also rated Computing & ICT Literacy highest and Creativity lowest.
