Abstract
This research aimed to develop data management and scientific interpretation skills of tenth grade students in Chemistry through the 5D active learning management (Data search, Data analysis, Data synthesis, Data reflection and Data application) using the professional learning community process. The one group posttest only design was employed in this research. The sample was purposively selected from tenth grade students in the second semester of the 2024 academic year at a secondary school in Nakhon Ratchasima Province. The research instruments consisted of 17 5D active learning plans, worksheets and posttest of data management and scientific interpretation skills. The score data of worksheets and exit-tickets were analyzed by calculating the mean, standard deviation and percentage. The results of the research found that students had group and individual data management skills at an average score of 95.49 and 95.29 percent of the full score, respectively, while scientific interpretation skills had an average score of 94.52 and 90.53 percent of the full score, respectively, which were at a very good level. Learning through the 5D active process in 5 steps effectively promoted students’ analytical thinking and scientific reasoning processes. In particular, group activities and participatory assessments facilitated meaningful learning and enabled students to apply their knowledge.
