DEVELOPING AN ONLINE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM USING THE 3T FRAMEWORK AND ACTIVE LEARNING FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS OF BANGKOK DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Abstract

This research aims to 1) study the context, problems, and needs for an online mathematics curriculum in small schools under the jurisdiction of Bangkok, and 2) develop an online mathematics curriculum. The target groups for studying the context and needs of the schools include: 10 administrators and teachers, 3 lecturers, 5 students, and 3 experts. Th e tools used in th e research include 1) a survey on problems and needs, and 2) an evaluation form for the efficiency of th e curriculum for experts. Research Results: 1. The context of the schools shows a shortage of personnel, particularly mathematics teachers. However, the schools are well-equipped with infrastructure and information technology systems, and teachers can use online teaching materials and curricula. Th e issues identified include students lacking equipment for online learning and a lack of interest in learning, indicating a need for high-quality online curricula that align with the context, featuring a blended approach. 2. The onlin e mathematics curriculum incorporates activities using The 3T Framework alongside active learning methods. Th e curriculum spans 30hours, including 12 hours of synchronous learning led by teachers and 18 hours of asynchronous learning, where students learn independently through websites and online platforms. The content focuses on Ratios, with learning materials including websites, videos, interactive multimedia, educational games, and exercises developed using Canva, Zoom, YouTube, and Scratch. The curriculum's effectiveness evaluation shows relevance in both content and technology, with the overall evaluation indicating a high level of appropriateness.
