Abstract

System for developing teacher competency in coding Primary level, group of schools under Nonthaburi Municipality. That will be developed works in the form of Mobile Application and Web Application. The database will be stored in the academic work section. There is an audiovisual equipment room and computer laboratory in the educational institution as the installation point. Can be used at any time via network and wireless internet systems. Results are reported in the form of a Dashboard, which consists of 3 elements as follows 1. Database system that develops coding teacher competency, consisting of 1.1) Coding course database system. 1.2) Coding course teaching knowledge database system. 1.3)Teaching skills development system for coding courses. 1.4) Database system Attitudes for teaching the subject of coding. 1.5) Database system for the curriculum to develop competency for coding teachers. 2.Competency training system consisting of 2.1) Pre-training testing system. 2.2) Training system. 2.3) System for developing media used in Training using augmented reality (AR) technology. 2.4) Laboratory practice system. 2.5) Online post-training review system. 2.6) Coding projects. 2.7) Post-training testing system. 3. Dashboard evaluation and reporting system consists of 3.1) Training evaluation report according to actual conditions. 3.2) Competency development forecast report. 3.3)Dashboard evaluation results reporting system. 3.4)Training follow-up reporting system.

In studying system requirements the researcher has prepared a questionnaire consisting of 3 aspects as follows 1) the needs for the developed system. 2) The environment for use. 3) The expected results there were 2 groups of respondents 1) A group of school administrators. 2) A group of teachers evaluation results in all aspects iIt was found that there was demand at the highest level (=4.51). Classified in all 3 areas, it was found that 1) the developed system There is a high level of demand for the system (= 4.50). 2) Environmental aspect has the highest level of demand for the system (= 4.52). 3) The expected results There is a high level of demand for the system (= 4.58 respectively) and the teacher group found that all 3 aspects had a high level of demand for the system (= 4.47, = 4.50, = 4.47) Give importance to the environmental sub-components of the developed system that must be easy to use (= 4.64) and have the most modern learning-supporting equipment (= = 4.60) consistency.
