A Study of Piano Practice Skills Grade 5 with Learning Management using Computer Graphics Media According to the Teaching Style Davies' Instructional Model for Psychomotor Domain and Horowitz's Theory of Imagery

Abstract

The purposes of this study were 1) to compare piano practice skills of Grade 5 students by managing the learning through using computer graphics based on Davies' Instructional Model for Psychomotor Domain and Horowitz's Theory of Imagery with the criteria of 70 percent, and 2) to study the satisfaction of Grade 5 students towards the learning management in using computer graphics media for piano practice skills according to Davies' Instructional Model for Psychomotor Domain and Horowitz's Theory of Imagery. The sampling group in this study was 30 Grade 5 students at Sarasas Witaed Suksa School selected through simple random sampling with classrooms as units in random. The tools used in this research consisted of the 15-hour piano teaching plan by managing the learning through using computer graphics media according to Davies' Instructional Model for Psychomotor Domain and Horowitz's Theory of Imagery, computer graphic materials for piano practice skills based on Davies' Instructional Model for Psychomotor Domain and Horowitz's Theory of Imagery, piano practice skills test form and a satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics used for analysis were mean, percentage, standard deviation and One-Sample t-test.

The research findings were as follows 1) piano practice skills of Grade 5 students by managing the learning through using computer graphics media based on Davies' Instructional Model for Psychomotor Domain and Horowitz's Theory of Imagery was higher than the criteria of 70 percent, 2) Grade 5 students were very satisfied with the computer graphics learning of piano practice skills according to Davies' Instructional Model for Psychomotor Domain and Horowitz's Theory of Imagery.
