Development of Learning Achievement and Scientific Explanation Ability of Fluid Mechanics by Using Context-Based Learning Method for grade 12 students
Keywords:
Context-based learning, Scientific Explanation Ability, Learning Achievement, SatisfactionAbstract
The purposes of study were 1) to improve fluid mechanics learning achievement for grade 12 students using context-based learning method, 2) to improve scientific explanation ability of fluid mechanics, and 3) to study fluid mechanics learning satisfaction of the students. The research participants were 48 science-mathematics scheme, grade 12 students studying in a School Secondary Educational Service Area Office 2 in Sai Mai District in Bangkok. The duration of the study was 18 periods excluding pre-test and post-test. There were 8 lesson plans. The research instruments used in this study were 1) context-based learning lesson plan, 2) fluid mechanics learning achievement test, and 3) learning satisfaction questionnaire. The data were analyzed by percentage, standard deviation, T-test, and relativity development score. The findings were 1) the average score of science learning achievement of fluid mechanics was 15.95 percent higher, 2) The explanation making development score was higher, and 3) The learning satisfaction was higher significantly.
