Effect of 5P model on academic achievement, creative thinking, and research characteristics

Abstract

     This study examined significant changes on the academic achievement, creative thinking, and research characteristics of Grade 9 students after the intervention of the 5P model and 5E model with an experimental group and control group, respectively. The 5P model is an integrated, research-based, learning instructional design model. In total, 76 out of 324 Grade 9 students were purposively selected from a high school located in Mahasarakham province, Thailand. The experimental group and the control group each comprised 38 samples. Researchers employed a 2 x 2 experimental research design. The findings revealed that the overall academic achievement, creative thinking, and research characteristics were significantly improved after the intervention of the 5P model as well as for the 5E model. However, the effect of the 5P model was found to be greater compared to the 5E model. As a result, the 5P model has been proved to be an innovative, instructional model to enhance students’ learning outcomes in terms of academic achievement, creative thinking, and research characteristics.
