The Comparison of Learning Achievement and Attitudes toward Physical Science of grade twelve Students between Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) Teaching Method with concept instructional media by Solidworks and the traditional method (5E)

Abstract

This research is conducted with the following objectives: 1) compare the learning effectiveness of students who receive the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) instructional approach combined with Solidworks instructional media before and after learning, 2) compare post-learning performance between students who learned using the the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE method with Solidworks instructional media and those who learned through the traditional 5E method and 3) compare the science attitudes between students who learned using the the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) method with Solidworks instructional media and those who learned through the traditional 5E method. The study involved sixth-grade students, with 70 students. The research tools included: 1) POE instructional plan 2) test measuring learning outcomes, and 3) Attitude measurement. The statistics used for analysis, including mean scores, standard deviations, independent samples t-test, and dependent samples t-test. The research findings indicate that: 1) the academic achievement of students who received the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) learning management method together with teaching media using the Solidworks instructional media after studying was significantly higher than before studying. At the level of 0.05 2) there was a significant difference in post-class academic achievement between students taught with the POE method with Solidworks instructional media and those taught with the 5E method at a 0.05 significance level and 3) after learning process, students taught using the POE method combined with Solidworks instructional media demonstrated a significantly more positive attitude towards science compared to those instructed with the 5E method at a significance level of 0.05.
