Abstract
The research’s objectives were to study 1) Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) development, 2) creating online lessons based on the Massive Open Online Course, and 3) the outcomes of using the Massive Open Online Course. The research and development method was used for this paper. The samples used for this research were 280 Thai farmers chosen on purpose according to the criteria specified. Research tools were Massive Open Online Course lessons, an achievement test, and a satisfaction survey form. The mean, percentage, and standard deviation were used to analyze the entire set of data.
The results showed that the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) model consists of 4 phases. Phase 1: input factors include learner analysis, designing objectives, content, learning resources suitable assortment, and evaluation. Phase 2: The Learning Process is a process of self-directed learning and collaborative learning, that includes setting up the goals, objectives, indicators, interaction, and collaborative learning, and defining the support process, and defining the evaluation form. Phase 3: Productivity is academic achievement and learning satisfaction. Phase 4: The result is the competency of being a smart farmer. 2) The results of creating the massive open online course according to the online teaching methods evaluated by experts were at the highest level. The mean was 4.94, and the efficiency was 82.50/81.33. and 3) The results of the study of the use of online teaching methods found that the learning achievement was higher than the criteria of 90.36 percent and the satisfaction of the students was at a high level (mean 4.09).
