Abstract
The purposes of this study were 1) to create and determine the effectiveness of microlearning inquiry questions on the topic of ecosystem to enhance science concepts for the ninth grade students according to the criteria of 75/75, 2) to compare the science concepts of the students before and after learning with the proposed learning method, and 3) to study the satisfaction of students with the proposed learning method. The study was conducted in accordance with the research and development processes. The sample group consisted of 39 ninth grade students in the semester 2 of academic year 2021 at Phitsanulok Pittayakom school. The sample group of students was selected by cluster random sampling. Research tools were microlearning inquiry questions on the topic of ecosystem, a science concepts test, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics used for data analysis were mean, standard deviation and dependent sample t-test.
The research results showed that microlearning inquiry questions on the topic of ecosystem effectively enhance science concepts for the ninth grade students, with an efficiency of 76.13/77.44, which meets the specified criteria. It was also found that the students have higher science concepts after learning with the proposed learning method, at a level of significance of .05. The overall satisfaction of students after learning with microlearning inquiry questions on the topic of ecosystems is high.
