Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) compare science achievement on the topic of Weather of MathayomSuksa I students after learning between experimental group and control group 2) compare Scientific Explanation of MathayomSuksa I students after learning between experimental group and control group, and 3) compare Scientific explanation of MathayomSuksa I students of control group between before and after learning. 

The sample consisted of 88 MathayomSuksa I students in two heterogeneous classrooms who were studying in the second semester of the 2018 academic year, obtained by cluster random sampling. They were the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group was MathayomSuksa I students who learned by using the Inquiry 5Es Learning Management Emphasizing Scientific Explanation. The control group was MathayomSuksa I students who learned by using the conventional teaching method. The research instruments were 1) Inquiry 5Es Learning Management Emphasizing Scientific Explanation lesson plans, 2) conventional lesson plans, 3) Science Achievement test on the topic of Weather, 4) Scientific Explanation test 5) Scientific Explanation record form and 6) after teaching record form. Statistics for data analysis were mean, standard deviation and t-test

Research finding revealed that (1) Science Achievement on the topic of weather of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group at the .05 level, (2) Scientific Explanation of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group at the .05 level, and (3) Scientific Explanation of the experimental group after learning was significantly higher than before learning at the .05 level.
