Effectiveness of E-Learning Design in Thai Public Schools
Purpose –This study examined the effectiveness of e-learning content design by considering two different subjects (mathematics and reading) and areas (metropolitan and rural). This study also investigated several variables, i.e., students’ satisfaction, motivation and experience, that influenced lea...

Purpose –This study examined the effectiveness of e-learning content design by considering two different subjects (mathematics and reading) and areas (metropolitan and rural). This study also investigated several variables, i.e., students’ satisfaction, motivation and experience, that influenced learning abilities. Moreover, we suggested ways of improving the effectiveness of e-learning for different kinds of students, subjects, and areas.Methodology – The participants were recruited from 263 randomly selected students in secondary school grades 9-10 (15year-olds). One hundred and thirty-eight students were from a public metropolitan school in Bangkok province, and 125 were from a public rural school in Suphanburi province. Pilot testing was conducted to confirm the reliability, validity, and internal consistency of the program and the exam questions, followed by field testing methods, which was used to identify the effectiveness of content design. Data analysis involved a quantitative research approach using a paired t-test to find the difference in scores between the pre- and post-tests. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyse and find the relationships between improvements in scores and variables.
