The Development Model of Learning though Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) for Graduated Students, Department of Educational Technology, Faculty of Education, Kasetsart University

AbstractThis research aims to develop the model of learning though Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) for graduated students that study in Department of Educational Technology, Faculty of Education, Kasetsart University which divide into two stages: the first stage is to study the appropriate model of learning though Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) and the second stage is to develop the model of learning though Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) for graduated students. The participants are master degree students (regular and special program) that study in Department of Educational Technology in 2014 academic year and divide into 2 groups (control and experimental group). Research tools are: analysis and synthesis data form, student's satisfaction questionnaire, self-directed learning skill measurement. Data are analyze by Arithmetic mean, Standard Deviation (S.D.) and T-test.Research finding show that the model of learning though Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) for graduated students that study in Department of Educational Technology are include the 4 main elements: 1) Learner, 2) Collaborative Learning, 3) Self-Directed Learning skill, and 4) Online Learning Environment. Finally, in the first stage show the appropriated model which is the “Prototype” that can be develop into the system of Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) in the next stage
