Abstract:
This research of The Design of Enhanced English-Thai Alphabetical Flashcards with
Augmented Reality Technology for Early Elementary School 1 - 3 Students aims 1) to
develop enhanced English-Thai alphabetical flashcards with augmented reality technology
with the E1 / E2 = 85/ 85 criterion, 2) to compare the pre-test and post-test scores after
learning with the flashcards, and 3) to evaluate the students’ satisfaction towards the
flashcards.
The samples are 60 students who studied in primary 1 – 3 at Satit School of Yala
Rajabhat University. The samples are chosen with a sample random sampling method.
The research instruments used are 1) the enhanced English-Thai alphabetical
flashcards with augmented reality technology which is developed through the revision of
the literature on problems in an English instruction and its curriculum, and is evaluated
its qualities by both the content specialists and educational technology specialists. Before
getting the research tool on the trial run with a group of participants to find the efficiency
level, it is tried out with individuals, groups, and field test in order to find challenges and
to revise the flashcards accordingly. The other instruments are 2) the pre-test and posttest,
and
3)a questionnaire on students’ satisfaction towards the flashcards. The data are analyzed by using mean scores, standard deviation and Wilcoxon matched-pairs signedrank (WSR) test.
The results of the study revealed that:
1. The enhanced English-Thai alphabetical flashcards with augmented reality
technology for early elementary school 1 - 3 students has the efficiency level
of 85.14/85.06, which meets the set criterion.
2. The post-test mean score after learning with the flashcards is significantly
higher than the pre-test mean score at the .05 level.
3. The students are highly satisfied with the enhanced English-Thai alphabetical
flashcards with augmented reality technology at 4.54 scores.
