Abstract

This research aimed 1) To compare the problem solving abilities of the first year vocational certificate students from Huaiyot Industrial and community Education College, Trang. During the project-based learning management on energy and environmental conservation with normal learning management 2) To compare the creativity of the first year Vocational Certificate students from Huaiyot Industrial and Community Education College, Trang. During the Project-based learning management on energy and environment conservation with normal learning management.

This research is Quasi Experimental research, the sample used is first year vocational certificate students at Huaiyot Vocational College, Trang Province, for the 2nd semester, academic year 2019. By divided into the control group and the experimental group. The control group arrange normal learning and teaching consisting of 33 vocational students from auto mechanics department in Huaiyot Industrial and Community Education College and the experimental group organized learning and teaching by using project base learning, consisting of 35 vocational student from auto mechanics department in Huaiyot Industrial and Community Education College. The statistical analysis employed were mean, standard deviation and t-test.

The results of the research were as follows: 1) the experimental group of students who were managed to learn by using the project as a base on energy and environment conservation, the mean score after study in the problem-solving ability experiment was significantly higher than that of the control group who received normal learning management at level of .05 according to the hypothesis and 2) The experimental group of learners who were managed to use the project as a base for energy and environment conservation. Have an average grade after classes in creativity experiments. Has the average score after studying in the creativity test was higher than that of the control group who were normally managed learning at level of .05
