Flipped classroom learning activities through Google Sites to promote analytical thinking skills on Electrical DC Circuit

This research aimed to 1) develop flipped classroom learning activities through Google Sites to enhance the analytical thinking skills in constructing direct current (DC) circuits for first-year vocational certificate students in the Electrical Power Department at Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Technical College, 2) study the students' ability to analyze DC circuits, and 3) compare the learning outcomes between students who engaged in flipped classroom activities and those who followed a traditional learning method. The sample consisted of 3 9 first-year vocational certificate students enrolled in the DC Circuits course, divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in learning activities via Google Sites in a flipped classroom model, while the control group followed the traditional teaching method. The research instruments included flipped classroom learning activities via Google Sites, a test to measure analytical thinking skills in DC circuit construction, and a test to evaluate learning outcomes. The findings revealed that the flipped classroom learning activities through Google Sites significantly enhanced students' analytical thinking skills in constructing DC circuits. Students in the experimental group demonstrated higher levels of analytical thinking and academic performance compared to those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (p<0.05). These results align with the learner-centered educational approach and support the use of technology as a medium to foster effective learning
