Assessment and Evaluation of Learning Outcomes Based on Outcome-Based Learning (OBL) Approach Through Computer-Assisted Instruction on Measuring Tape Usage

Abstract

This research aimed to measure and evaluate learning outcomes based on the Outcome-Based Learning (OBL) approach through a computer-assisted instruction lesson on “How to Use a Tape Measure,” with a focus on developing both knowledge and practical skills. The sample group consisted of 60 first-year vocational certificate students in the construction program from Satun Technical College, Pattani Technical College, and Don Mueang Technical College. Data analysis was conducted using the mean, standard deviation, t-test, index of item-objective congruence (IOC), and test reliability analysis. The findings revealed that the developed computer-assisted instruction lesson achieved an efficiency score of 85.25:81.00, meeting the standard criterion of 80/80. Additionally, students' academic achievement after learning was significantly higher than before, at a statistical significance level of .05. The evaluation of learning outcomes under the OBL approach showed that students demonstrated significant progress in knowledge related to using a tape measure, improved practical skills, and a positive attitude toward learning through computer-assisted instruction. Furthermore, an analysis of the relationship between learning outcome components indicated a significant positive correlation between cognitive development, practical skill enhancement (Psychomotor Domain), and positive learning attitudes (Affective Domain). These results highlight the effectiveness of the active learning approach in fostering professional competencies among students.
