The Comparison of Learning Achievement, Analytical Thinking and Attitudes toward Mathematics Entitled Ratio and Percentage of Matthayomsueksa 2 Students Between Using Constructivist Learning Activities and CIPPA Learning Activities
Abstract:
The purpose of this research were 1) To determine the understanding of ratio and
percentage by Grade Matthayamsuksa 2 High School students who learned from the
Constructivist method and from the CIPPA method relative to the 75/75 standard.
2) To study the effectiveness index of learning by Grade Matthayamsuksa 2 High School
students learning ratio and percentage using the Constructivist method and the CIPPA method. 3) To compare student achievement in analytical thinking and attitude towards
mathematics by Grade Matthayamsuksa 2 High School students who learned about
Ratio and Percentage using the Constructivist method with students who learned using
the CIPPA method by using a pre-test and post-test. The sample for this research was
50 students in Grade Matthayamsuksa 2 at Chiangyuanwittaya School. These 50 students
were selected in semester academic year 2013 by purposive sampling. The research tools
used in this study were lesson plans about ratio and percentage using the Constructivist
method and the CIPPA method. The test for student achievement in ratio and
percentage for Grade Matthayamsuksa 2 mathematics students were a criteria
referenced test. It was a multiple choice test of 40 questions. The difficulty values (p)
ranged from 0.28 to 0.71, discrimination values (B) from 0.32 to 1.00 and the coefficient
of reliability was 0.85. The measure of attitude towards mathematics was performed by
using a 5 level Rating Scale with 15 questions. The difficulty values (p) ranged from
0.38 to 0.74, discrimination values (B) from 0.26 to 0.89 and the coefficient of reliability
was 0.95. The measure for analytical thinking was a multiple-choice test of 30 questions.
The statistics used in the data analysis were percentage, mean, and standard deviation.
T-test was used to test the hypothesis.
