A study of mathematical learning achievement and mathematical problem solving ability on the fundamental counting principle for matthayomsuksa v students by using open approach together with the higher order thinking questions
Abstract:
The purposes of this study were: (1) to compare the mathematical problem-solving ability on the fundamental counting principle for Matthayomsuksa 5 students by using open approach and the higher order thinking questions with 70 percent criteria; (2) to compare the mathematical achievement on the fundamental counting principle for Matthayomsuksa 5 students by using open approach and the higher order thinking questions with 70 percent criteria. The participants in this study were twenty-nine students who studied in Matthayomsuksa 5/13 at Suratpittaya School, Surat Thani Province, in the second semester of the academic year 2021. However, they were selected by using the cluster random sampling technique. The instruments are used in the study were (1) Mathematics learning activities using using open approach and the higher order thinking questions on the fundamental counting principle of Matthayomsuksa 5 plan for 5 plans each, totally 11 hours; (2) the mathematical problem-solving ability test on the fundamental counting principle for Matthayomsuksa 5 students were 5 questions for a subjective way of thinking, item-objective congruence Index (IOC) was between 0.67-1.00, the difficult (p) of test was between 0.44 0.60, the discrimination (r) of test was between 0.35 0.49 and the reliability of all the item was 0.83; (3) the learning achievement test on the fundamental counting principle for Matthayomsuksa 5 students were 20 questions for multiple choices, item-objective congruence index (IOC) of test was between 0.67-1.00, the difficult (p) of test was between 0.30 0.70, the discrimination (B) of test was between 0.20 0.80 and the reliability of all the item was 0.83. The statistics are used for analyzing the data. It consists of percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Moreover, to examine the hypothesis by using a t-test for One Sample. The results of the study were as follows: 1. Mathematical problem-solving ability on the fundamental counting principle for Matthayomsuksa 5 students by using open approach and the higher order thinking questions accounted for 78.62 percent at over 70 percent criteria at .05 level of significance. 2. Mathematical achievement on the fundamental counting principle for Matthayomsuksa 5 students by using open approach and the higher order thinking questions accounted for 79.66 percent at over 70 percent criteria at .05 level of significance.
