Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) compare the learning achievements between before and after learning of the students who received science learning management using the problem-based learning, 2) compare the learning achievements between the students who received science learning management using problem-based learning and the usual traditional instruction, 3) compare the learning problem solving abilities between before and after learning of the students who received science learning management using the problem-based learning, and 4) compare the learning problem solving abilities between the students who received science learning management by using problem-based learning and the usual traditional instruction.

The sample of this study was 78 students from 2 intact classrooms in mathayom II from Phrapathom Wittayalai school which is the extra large school in Nakhonpathom province, obtained from cluster random sampling. The instruments used in this research were 1) learning management plans for the problem-based learning, 2) learning management plans for usual traditional instruction, 3) achievement test, and (4) scientific problem solving ability test. Statistics used for data analysis were the Mean, Standard Deviation and t-test.

The results of this research were as follows: 1) Learning achievements of the students learned by using problem-based was significantly higher than before at the level of .01, 2) Learning achievements of the students learned using problem-based learning was significantly higher than students who learned by the usual traditional instruction at the level of .01, 3)Scientific Problem solving abilities of the students learned by using problem-based learning was significantly higher than before at the level of .01, and 4) Scientific Problem solving abilities of the students learned by using problem-based learning was significantly higher than students who learned by using the usual traditional instruction at the level of .01.
