Abstract

The purposes of this study were: (1) to develop of mathematics activities learning based on Constructivist Theory cooperated with electronic media to promote problem solving abilities on Triangle to meet the efficiency criterion of 80/80; (2) to find the effectiveness index of the learning based on Constructivist Theory cooperated with electronic media to promote problem solving abilities on Triangle; and (3) to compare the mathematical achievement and problem solving ability of students learning based on Constructivist Theory cooperated with electronic media to promote problem solving abilities on Triangle to 70 percent of criteria. The participants in this study were 17 students who studied in Grade 6 at Banchok School in the second semester. However, they were selected by using cluster random sampling. The research instruments were: (1) mathematics learning activities based on Constructivist Theory cooperated with electronic media; (2) the learning achievement test; and (3) the mathematical problem-solving ability test. The statistics for data analysis are percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Hotelling’s T2 to test the hypothesis. The results of the study were as follows: (1) mathematics learning activities Based on Constructivist Theory cooperated with electronic Media were 86.71/80.00, respectively; (2) the effectiveness index of plans for organization of mathematics learning Based on Constructivist Theory Cooperated with Electronic Media  was 0.5953 indicating that the  students' scores increased by 59.53 percent, respectively; and (3) mathematics learning activities based on Constructivist Theory cooperated with electronic media accounted over 70 percent criteria at the .05 level of significance and mathematical problem-solving ability of students at over 70 percent criteria at the .05 level of significance.
