Abstract
This research aimed to study mathematical learning outcomes of Grade-8 students on the Pythagorean theorem using inductive approaches to achieve the 80/80 efficiency criteria. Second, the study aimed to compare mathematical learning outcomes of Grade-8 students on the Pythagorean theorem using inductive approaches before and after learning. The third objective is to study satisfaction levels towards the study. The sample was obtained from simple random sampling among 30 Grade-8 students in a school in Bangkok by drawing lots. The research tools include a learning plans, a test on mathematical learning outcomes, and a questionnaire on students’ satisfaction. The statistics used were the mean ( ), the standard deviation (S.D.), and the dependent sample t-test. The results revealed that the efficiency level exceeded. Moreover, the Mathematical Learning Achievement after the study was higher than before, with a statistical significance of .05. Lastly, there was an overall high level of satisfaction with the average of 4.89.
