Abstract:
The purposes of this research were as follows:1) to study the effectiveness of learning package Surrounding Material' using 4MAT learning cycle for Prathomsuksa 3 in science on students following the criteria set of 80/80, 2) to study the learning achievement before and after learning using learning package in science on 'Surrounding Material' using 4MAT learning cycle for Prathomsuksa 3 students, 3) to study the effectiveness index of learning package in science on Surrounding Material' using 4MAT learning cycle for Prathomsuksa 3 students, the learning achievement was increased to 0.8854 or 88.54 percent, 4) to analyze the satis faction of Prathomsuksa3 students towards learning by using the learning package in science on 'Surrounding Material' using 4MAT learning cycle for Prathomsuksa 3 students The samples used in this research were 28 students of Prathomsuksa 3 class 2 in Kanlayaprasit School, Prakhonchai District, Buriram Province during the first semester of academic year 2017, selected by simple random sampling The instruments used in this research were 1) 2 copies of learning package in science on 'Surrounding Material' using 4MAT learning cycle for Prathomsuksa 3 students, 2) 2 copies of sub-tests after each lesson learning, and each copy has 10 items with 4 multiple choices, 3) Learning achievement test which the researchers constructed to measure the ability to think critically using 4MAT learning cycle after the students have studied every lesson plan. This test consisted of 10 questions and each question had 4 multiple choices. 4) Students' satisfaction questionnaire towards the learning package in science on 'Surrounding Material' using 4MAT learning cycle for Prathomsuksa 3 students used 5 levels of rating scale.
The number of the questions was 10 items. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation and test hypothesis using dependent samples t-test. The research results were as follows
1. The efficiency of the learning package in science on Surrounding Material' using 4MAT learning cycle for Prathomsuksa 3 students (E, / E,) was 90.77/88.04 which was higher than the criterion set of 80/80
2. The effectiveness index of the learning package in science on Surrounding Material' using 4MAT learning cycle for Prathomsuksa 3 students, the learning achievement was increased to 0.8854 or 88.54 percent.
3. The student's learning achievement after learning through the learning package in 'Surrounding Material' using 4MAT learning cycle for Prathomsuksa 3 students was science on higher than before learning with a statistically significant level of .01.
4. Prathomsuksa 3 students' satisfaction towards learning through the learning package in science on Surrounding Material' using 4MAT learning cycle for Prathomsuksa 3 as a whole was at a high level.
