The development of problem solving ability in physics proposition by incorporating polyas technique into 7E learning cycle model for mathayomsuksa 6 students
Abstract:
The research aimed to 1) compare pre- and post-test scores of the problem-solving ability
of Mathayomsuksa 6 students in physics proposition by incorporating Polyas Technique into 7E
learning cycle model, 2) compare the students problem-solving ability in Physics proposition
before and after studying with the traditional approach, and 3) compare the problem-solving ability
of students in the control group and the experimental group.
88 samples, 44 for the control group and 44 for the experimental group, were chosen by
cluster random sampling from Mathayomsuksa 6 students studying in the Science and Mathematics
program in the academic year 2015 at Saipanya Rangsit School. The research instruments were
1) lesson plans that incorporated Polyas Technique into 7E learning cycle model, 2) traditional
lesson plans, and 3) a pre-and post-test on problem-solving ability in Physics proposition.
The descriptive statistics Mean, Standard Deviation, and t-test were used for data analysis.
The research findings were as follows : 1) students post-test scores on problem-solving
ability in Physics proposition by incorporating Polyas Technique into 7E learning cycle model
were statistically significant higher at .05, 2) students post-test scores of problem-solving ability in
Physics proposition by the traditional approach were statistically significant higher at .05, and
3) students problem-solving ability in Physics proposition by incorporating Polyas Technique into
7E learning cycle model was statistically significant higher than that with the traditional approach
at .05.
