The Development and Implementation of an Online Learning Model in Religious Morality and Ethics Education for Lower Secondary Students
Abstract
This research explores the development and effectiveness of an online learning model for religious morality and ethics education among lower secondary school students in Khon Kaen Municipality. By combining traditional Buddhist principles with modern educational technology, the study assesses the impact of a structured online learning environment on student engagement and learning outcomes. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and pre- and post-assessments. Results indicate a significant improvement in students' understanding and application of Buddhist moral teachings, highlighting the potential of integrating technology into moral education. However, challenges such as technological accessibility and teacher preparedness are identified. The study concludes with recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of online moral education in Thailand.
