Abstract

The objectives of this research were to study the outcomes from the learning management of motion following STEM education approach by comparing the achievement of studying before and after the studying, comparing problem-solving ability at 75%, and studying the satisfaction of students toward the learning activities. Samples of this research were 37 grade-10 students during the second semester, academic year 2018 at Benchamaratrungsarit 2 School obtained by group sampling. The tools consisted of 5 teaching plans following the STEM education approach, achievement test of motions, problem-solving ability test, and a survey of satisfaction towards the teaching following STEM education. The research was a preliminary experimental study. The research found that the post-achievement test score (mean 23.24, S.D. 2.14) was significantly higher than that of the pre-achievement test (mean 11.41, S.D. 2.37) at the .05 significance level. In addition, their problem-solving ability (81.87%) was significantly higher than the proposed standard at the .05 significance level. They were satisfied with the learning activities following STEM with highest satisfaction rate (mean 4.52, S.D. 0.54).
