Development of Animation Media on Industrial Waste Management among Automotive Parts Factory in Pathum Thani Province

Abstract

This study aimed to develop an animated educational media on industrial waste management in accordance with ISO 14001:2015 standards.

The research was conducted using a research and development methodology. The research tools included the developed animation, a true-or-false knowledge test administered before and after the training, and a satisfaction questionnaire. All tools were validated for content accuracy by three experts, using a 5-point Likert scale for evaluation. The animation was used in a training session for a sample group consisting of 30 production department employees from an automotive parts assembly factory in Pathum Thani Province, selected through purposive sampling. Participants' knowledge was assessed before and after the training, and their satisfaction with the animation was evaluated. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, percentage, and paired t-test.

The evaluation results of the animation media by experts showed mean scores of 4.42 for content, 4.50 for media quality, and 4.20 for the test, which are rated as high, highest, and high levels, respectively. Among the sample group, the majority were female 21 female participants (70%) and 9 male participants (30%). Most participants were aged between 31–40 years (43.30%) and had a work experience of 1–5 years (63.30%). The mean knowledge scores before and after the animation-based training were 10.10 ± 1.86 and 13.60 ± 1.04, respectively. The difference between the pre-test and post-test scores was statistically significant at the 0.05 confidence level. The average satisfaction score of the participants toward the animation media was 4.35, which is considered a high level. Therefore, the use of animated media effectively enhanced employees' knowledge on industrial waste management in accordance with ISO 14001:2015 standard.
