Development of Creative Thinking and Learning Achievement of Mathayomsuksa 1 Students on the Unit of Climate Change Process through STEM Education with TPACK Integration
Abstract:
The purposs of this were to 1) construct lesson plans using STEM education Integrated with TPACK on Climate Change Process unit for Mathayomsuksa 1 students tomeet the criteria efficiency of 80/80, 2) study and compare students creativity before and after the intervention, 3) compare students learning achievement before and afterthe intervention, and 4) examine students desirable characteristics after the intervention. The sample, obtained through cluster random sampling, consisted of 38 students fromMathayomsuksa 1/1 Phagkhonwittayakhom School under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office Sakon Nakhon, during the second semester of the academic year2024. The research instruments included: 1) lesson plans of STEM education combined with TPACK, 2) a creativity test, 3) a learning achievement test, and 4) a questionnaire for desirable characteristics. Statistic tools fordata analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test for Dependent Samples.
The research findings revealed that:
1. The lesson plans using STEM education combined with TPACK Climate Change Process unit for Mathayomsuksa 1 students reached the efficiency of 81.96/83.44,exceeding the set criteria of 80/80.
2. The creativity of Mathayomsuksa 1 students on Climate Change Process unit had pretest and posttest scores of 69.05 and 82.11. By comparison, the studentscreativity after intervention was statistically higher than that of before at the .01 significance level. This result indicated that the constructed learning management could foster the students creativity, and the students could be able to further the knowledge in design and creating novel products.
3. The learning achievement of Mathayomsuksa 1 students on Climate Change Process unit using STEM education combined with TPACK demonstrated pretest and posttest scores of 17.84 and 26.36. The comparison revealed that the posttest mean score was statistically higher than that of the pretest at the .01 significance level.
4. The desired characteristics after the intervention using STEM Education combined with TPACK was at a high level (x̄ = 2.87), Because the teacher has given students guidance and given them practice in behaving correctly according to the rules, being careful and disciplined in their duties.
