Practical Learning Management System Combined with Case-Based Learning on Educational Resource Administration in the Digital Era

Abstract

Abstract

        The objectives of this research were to (1) design and create, test, use and evaluate a prototype of a practical learning management system combined with case-based learning on educational resource administration in the digital era; and (2) recommend the evaluated practical learning management system combined with case-based learning on educational resource administration in the digital era. The sample group consisted of 92 graduate students in the Master of Education Program at  Rajamangala University of Technology Rattanakosin in Academic Year 2022. Ten experts in ICT systems and educational innovations helped evaluate the constructed learning management system. The research was in four steps: (1) study and analysis of user requirements, (2) system design and development, (3) system function testing and evaluation, and (4) system performance improvement. Quantitative data analysis was by using statistical packages for mean and standard deviation. The qualitative data analysis was by content analysis. The obtained results indicated: (1) the prototype of a practical learning management system combined with case-based learning on educational resource administration in the digital era uses a DBLC development process. The experiment with the operational system for graduate learning involves learning via educational technology with a simple implementation. The participating students have a high level of satisfaction with the system prototype; and (2) The system has a structure consisting of a website, teacher and student database, knowledge record, knowledge assessment, discussion board, knowledge base, download documents, related case studies, and pictures of various activities. The research findings pointed to the benefits of the prototype system in providing students with practical ICT and learning skills for educational resources management in the digital era.
