Abstract

The objectives of this study were: A blended learning management system incorporating problem-based learning was planned to be built with the aim of achieving effectiveness based on the 80/80 criterion. A comparison was to be made between the academic accomplishment and problem-solving abilities of undergraduate students. Following the completion of a blended problem-based lesson, it was anticipated that the results would surpass the 80% benchmark. The objective of the study was to assess the level of satisfaction among students with a blended, problem-based teaching style in the Energy Technology Course of the undergraduate curriculum.

 The research sample consisted of undergraduate students from Maha Sarakham Rajabhat University, namely those enrolled in the 2nd semester of the academic year 2020. 30 individuals were acquired via cluster random sampling. The research utilized the following tools: The equipment utilized in the experiment: A 7-hour problem-based blended learning approach was created. Methods employed for data collection:

A problem-solving aptitude assessment was developed, comprising of 20 multiple-choice questions with four answer choices each. A 60-item multiple-choice test was created to assess intellectual achievement. The statistical measures employed in data analysis encompassed percentage, mean, standard deviation, and one-sample t-test. The findings of the research were as follows: The effectiveness of the problem-based blended learning management was assessed to be 80.22 out of 89.61. The study revealed that academic success exceeded the 80 percent threshold with statistical significance at the .05 level.The students' problem-solving abilities were found to be significantly above the 80 percent threshold, with statistical significance at the .05 level. A mean score of 25.20 points was attained, representing 84 percent.

Student satisfaction with problem-based blended learning was found to be extremely high. The computed mean is 4.91, with a standard deviation of 0.31.
