Abstract

The teaching and learning of students at the university use teachers' methods of teaching that still focus on memorizing a large amount of content. Students learn through taking notes rather than promoting thinking skills, and teaching and learning do not yet emphasize design thinking. This research therefore has the objectives; (1) To compare the academic achievement of students before and after organizing learning using design thinking. (2) To study the ability to design learning management plans for students. And (3) To study student satisfaction with learning management using design thinking. The population used in the research is 42 undergraduate students in the field of Primary Education, Faculty of Education, Ramkhamhaeng University, in the second semester of the 2022 academic year, who are enrolled in the Thai language course CEE2307(CEE3201) for primary school teachers.

The instruments used in this research are; (1) Learning management plan, (2) Achievement test on learning management, design thinking and learning management plans, (3) Ability assessment form for designing learning management plans, and (4) Satisfaction assessment form. Data analysis by finding the mean (𝑥̅), standard deviation (S.D.), and t-test dependent. The results of the research found that; (1) The results of comparing the academic achievement of students after organizing learning using design thinking are higher than before organizing learning with statistical significance at the .05 level. (2) The results of the study of student's ability to design learning management plans from learning management using design thinking were overall at the highest level. When considering each area, it was found that the area with the highest average was the area of learning management media and learning resources, followed by content/learning content and learning activities, the aspect with the least average value is the Components of the learning management plan.
