Abstract

This research aimed to 1) develop a blended learning management plan that promotes multimedia production skills for children with special needs among pre-service teachers, 2) develop multimedia materials for children with special needs, and 3) enhance multimedia production skills for children with special needs among pre-service teachers. The target group consisted of 23 undergraduate pre-service teachers majoring in Educational Digital Technology at the Faculty of Education, Ubon Ratchathani Rajabhat University, who were enrolled in the course “Multimedia and Animation Design” during the second semester of the 2023 academic year, selected using purposive sampling. The research instruments included (1) a blended learning management plan, (2) a multimedia production skills assessment form, and (3) Multimedia Production Skills for Children with Special Needs. Data was analyzed using basic statistics, including percentage, mean, standard deviation, and relative development scores. The findings revealed that: (1) The blended learning management plan designed to promote multimedia production skills for children with special needs among pre-service teachers was very high quality (equation = 4.54, S.D. = 0.54). (2) The multimedia materials for children with special needs created by pre-service teachers were assessed as very high quality (equation= 4.53, S.D. = 0.36). (3) The multimedia production skills of pre-service teachers developed through the blended learning approach were at a very high level overall, with a relative development score of 85.00.
