the second semester in the academic year 2018 from a university in the
northeast of Thailand. Research tools consisted of observation form, interviewing form, and open-ended
questionnaires. Participants were
divided into 3 groups by large, small, and individual learning. Data were
collected and analyzed by qualitative and quantitative explanations and some
remarks in the implementation period. Six steps
of learning activities consisted of setting goals, brainstorming,
innovation design, 4 reflection, teaching strategies, and
evaluation. Also,
educational innovation had 5 components: instructional media, guideline, online
link, application technology, and lesson plans. Instructional media were pop-up, paper mace, slide
card,
learning cycle, digital media and electronic
book. The innovative thinking of large group learning showed the highest score,
pop-up
fit to small group learning, and digital
