Inquiry-based learning, KWDL technique, Physics problem-solving ability, Critical thinking abilityAbstract
This research aimed to compare grade 10 students' physics problem-solving and critical thinking abilities on momentum and collision when taught through Inquiry-based learning combined with the KWDL technique versus traditional instruction. The research sample consisted of 80 grade 10 students in the science-mathematics learning plan from 2 classrooms at Mattayom Watnongchok School obtained by cluster random sampling and divided into one experimental and one control classroom. The research instruments were 1) 6 Inquiry-based learning combined with KWDL technique lesson plans in the topic of momentum and collision for 18 hours; 2) 6 traditional instruction lesson plans in the topic of momentum and collision for 18 hours; 3) a physics problem-solving ability test; and 4) a critical thinking ability test. The statistics employed for data analysis were the mean, standard deviation and t-test. The results revealed that 1) the physics problem-solving ability of the students learning through Inquiry-based learning combined with KWDL technique was significantly higher than that of the students learning through the traditional instruction at the .05 level of statistical significance; and 2) The critical thinking ability of the students learning through Inquiry-based learning combined with KWDL technique was significantly higher than that of the students learning through the traditional instruction at the .05 level of statistical significance.
