The Effects of Inquiry Learning Management Based on STEM Education Approach in the topic of solar oven on Scientific Problem-Solving Ability and Learning Achievement of Mathayom Suksa I Students at Thanakarn Omsin School in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province.
Keywords:
Inquiry learning management, STEM education, Science problem solving ability, Science learning achievementAbstract
The purposes of this research were (1) to compare science problem solving abilities of students learning under the inquiry learning management based on STEM education approach with that of students learning under traditional instruction and (2) to compare science learning achievement of students learning under the inquiry learning management based on STEM education approach in the topic of solar oven with that of students learning under traditional instruction. The research sample consisted of 2 classrooms, 35 students in each class Matthayom Suksa I at Thanakarn Omsin School in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, obtained by cluster random sampling. The instruments used in this research were (1) learning management plans for the inquiry learning management based on STEM education approach 5 plans, (2) learning management plans for traditional instruction 5 plans, (3) a science problem solving ability test, and (4) a science learning achievement test. Statistics used for data analysis were the mean, standard deviation, and t-test for independent samples. The results of this research were as follows: (1) science problem solving ability of students who learned under the inquiry learning management based on STEM education approach ( x̅ = 48.94 scores) was significantly higher than that of the students who learned under traditional instruction ( x̅ = 41.60 scores) at the .05 level; and (2) science learning achievement of students who learned under the inquiry learning management based on STEM education approach ( x̅ = 24.34 scores) was significantly higher than that of the students who learned under traditional instruction ( x̅ = 14.23 scores) at the .05 level.
