Development of Science Communication Skills and Learning Achievement of Pratomsuksa 5 Students on the Topic of Force and Energy Using Problem-Based Learning Management Integrated with Concept Mapping
Abstract:
The purposes of this research were to 1) develop problem-based learning management plans integrated with a conceptual mapping for Prathomsuksa 5 students on the topic of Force and Energy to achieve the efficiency criteria of 80/80, 2) compare science communication skills of Prathomsuksa 5 students before and after the intervention, 3) compare the learning achievement of Prathomsuksa 5 students before and after the intervention, and 4) examine the satisfaction of the Prathomsuksa 5 students with problem-based learning management integrated with a concept mapping. The sample, obtained through cluster random sampling, consisted of 40 Prathomsuksa 5 students, studying in the second semester of the 2024 academic year at Banpangkhon (Chapasamakkhiwitthaya) School. The statistics used in the research included mean, standard deviation, and t-test for Dependent Samples.
The findings were as follows: 1) The problem-based learning management plans integrated with a concept mapping for Prathomsuksa 5 students on the topic of Force and Energy reached the efficiency of 84.47/80.46, which met the established 80/80 criteria; 2) The science communication skills for Prathomsuksa 5 students after the intervention were significantly higher than those before at the .01 level of significance; 3) The student learning achievement after the intervention was significantly higher than that before at the .01 level of significance; and 4) The students were satisfied with the problem-based learning management combined with a concept mapping at the highest level ( = 4.72).
