The Development of Packages Learning Focusing on Hands-on Activities by using The 5E of InquiryBased Learning to Enhance Analytical Thinking Skills on Stoichiometry of Grade 10 Students
Abstract:
The objectives of the study were to develop and to analyze the efficiency of packages learning focusing on hands-on activities by using the 5E of Inquiry-based learning on the stoichiometry as well as to study results of analytical thinking skills development and to investigate the satisfaction towards learning through the learning activity packages. The samples used in this research were 30 students on grade 10 from Amanahwittayanusorn school, Mueang district, Yala province selected by the cluster random sampling technique. The research tools consisted of 1) packages learning focusing on hands-on activities, 2) learning management plans, 3) a test to measure analytical thinking skill, and 4) a satisfaction assessment form. Statistics for data analysis were 1) the efficiency of the activity set according to the E1/E2 at 70/70 criterion, 2) the inferential statistics including t-Test, to compare the posttest score of analytical thinking skill with the set 70% criteria and descriptive statistic such as mean and standard deviation.
The results showed that the efficiency of the packages learning focusing on hands-on activities by using the 5E of Inquiry-based learning was 76.70/75.20 according to the 70/70 criterion, the students' analytical thinking skill scores after learning with the activity set were higher than before and higher than the criterion at 70% with 0.05 level of significance and the average score of students learning satisfaction with the packages learning was the highest level (x̅ = 4.87, S.D. = 0.33). The results of this study showed that the learning activity set created by the researcher allows students to learn through tangible media and to participate in every steps of analytical thinking activities and encourage them to develop their own critical thinking skills as well.
