Abstract
The outbreak of the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), has caused the students to stop going to school and were unable to study normally. Therefore, the researcher has come up with the ideas; 1) to create and develop the manual of artifacts from local materials by STEM education approaches under the outbreak of the pandemic, Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) with an efficiency of 70/70; 2) to evaluate the scientific process skills after using the manual of artifacts from local materials by STEM education approaches and; 3) to study students’ satisfaction towards the manual of artifacts from local materials by STEM education approaches. The target audience used in the study were 18 students in Prathomsuksa 5 of academic year 2021, Ban Kum School, Ubon Ratchathani Primary Educational Service Area Office 3. The instruments used were 1) the manual of artifacts from local materials by STEM education approaches, 2) a learning achievement test; 3) the evaluation form for the scientific process skills and, 4) the students’ satisfaction evaluation form. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and one-Samples T-Test analysis. The findings indicated that the manual of artifacts from local materials by STEM education approaches had the efficiency of 70.62/72.06. The students’ average score on the assessment of the scientific process skills by STEM education approaches in the step 4-6 were higher than the standard 70% but not statically significant at the .01 level (step 4: Implementation on problem-solving and developing, step 5: Testing, evaluating and improving, and step 6: Presentation). The students also had an average score in the list of assessment no. 4, mathematics, rated in the highest level (mean = 3.70, S.D. = 1.01). In addition, the overall students’ satisfaction towards the manual of artifacts from local materials by STEM education approaches had rated in high levels (mean = 4.19, S.D. = 0.64).
