The Development of an Online Instructional Package Integrated With Active Learning in the Work Study Course for Second-Year Undergraduate Students

The study developed an online instructional package integrated with active learning on the work study course for second-year undergraduate students. Accessible via smartphones, tablets, or computers, the package includes content, exercises, and assessments. Creative activities and educational games were employed to promote student interest and engagement. The sample group consisted of 25 second-year students enrolled in the bachelor of industrial education program in industrial engineering, during the second semester of the academic year 2024. The research instruments included: (1) the developed online instructional package with active learning activities, (2) a learning achievement test, and (3) a satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and dependent t-test. The results revealed that the developed instructional package was of high quality, with an overall appropriateness rating at a high level (x̅ = 4.06, SD = 0.28). Students’ post-test scores were significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the .05 level. Moreover, student satisfaction with the instructional package was at the highest level (x̅ = 4.74, SD = 0.53). In conclusion, the online instructional package integrated with active learning for the Work Study course effectively enhanced student learning achievement and satisfaction, demonstrating its strong potential for improving instructional quality in higher education.
