The Effect of Organizing Learning Activity Using Improve Process with Level Questions to Enhance Mathematics Reasoning Ability of Secondary Students in Matayom 3

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) compare the overall mathematical reasoning ability and categorize students' subcomponents before and after the mathematical learning activity using the IMPROVE process in conjunction with the use of high-level questions. 2) Comparing the overall mathematical reasoning ability and separating students' subcomponents between the groups organized math learning activities using the IMPROVE process in conjunction with the use of high-level questions with the treated groups. The sample was Mathayomsuksa III Student Padengwittaya School Phetchaburi Province, the first semester of the academic year 2020, consisted of 2 classrooms, 70 students, 35 people in the experimental group and 35 people in the control group, using a purposive sampling technique. Research tools
1) Plan for learning activities, the IMPROVE process, together with the use of questions.  2) Plan normal learning activity plan and 3) a math reasoning ability scale. The statistics used in the data analysis were arithmetic mean   deviation (S.D.), t-test analysis.

The reach results showed that 1) Students who have been organized learning activities using the IMPROVE process in conjunction with the use of high-level questions. Have the ability to generalize mathematical reasoning and separate sub-elements. After study higher than before study with statistical significance at the .05 level. 2) Students who have been organizing learning activities using the IMPROVE process in conjunction with Using high-level questions has a higher overall and sub-component math reasoning ability than those who received conventional math learning activities. With statistical significance at the .05
