Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to develop the project-based learning on web, 2) to assess creative thinking skills of Grade 10 students and 3) to investigate the students' opinions on the project-based learning on web. The target groups were 48 Grade 10 students studying at Khon Kaen Wittayayon School, who were selected by a simple random sampling method. One shot case study was employed to conduct the study. Also, waterfall development model was used to develop the web-based learning material. The research results were as follows. 1. Learning management consisted of the project-based learning and the promotion of creative thinking skills in the classroom using learning management plans and web-based learning material passing the evaluation by the experts with the highest level of appropriateness. Furthermore, the students' project mean scores were 18.00 points with the standard deviation (SD) of 1.651, accounted for 90.00% from the total score of 20 points. 2. The results of assessment of the students' creative thinking skills revealed that the mean score of creative thinking skills was 38.98 points with the standard deviation (SD) of 4.412. The total mean score was 77.96%. The majority of students (48 students, accounting for 45.83%) got the scores of 80% and over. The results of the investigation of the students' opinions pointed out that 48 students strongly agreed with the project-based learning on web to enhance creative thinking skills for Design and Technology Subject of Grade 10 students. The total mean score was 4.10, and the standard deviation (S.D.) was 0.821.
