Development of Basic Chemistry Course Related to Experience on a Daily for Mathayomsuksa 4 at Sinpunkunnawit School in Krabi Province

Abstract

             The purposes of this research were to develop and evaluate the quality of Basic Chemistry Course Related to Experience on a Daily for Mathayomsuksa 4 at Sinpunkun
             nawit School in Krabi Province. Research and developmeny study was used as research methodology. The group of sample used in this study was 18 Mathayomsuksa 4 students at Sinpunkunnawit School through purposive sampling. The research instruments were Learning Units and Learning plans consisted of 6 learning plans, interview forms for experts about the learning plan that corresponding with daily life experience, the questionnaires measuring the students’ opinion on learning Basic Chemistry Course corresponding with daily life experience. The data were analyzed by frequency and the percentage.
            The results were as follows:
            1. The experiences related with student daily life were rubber tree and oil palm plantations.
            2. Development of Basic Chemistry Course Related to Experience on a Daily consisted of 2 learning units;
                       2.1 Rubber Tree Unit consisted of
                                       2.1.1 Rubber Plantation,
                                       2.1.2 Rubber Harvest and
                                       2.1.3 Rubber Products and
                      2.2 Oil Palm Unit consisted of
                                      2.2.1 Oil Palm Plantation
                                      2.2.2 Oil Palm Products and
                                      2.2.3 The Outgrowth of Oil Palm Plantation
            3. The result of the experts’ opinions on the lesson plans were at the highest level.
            4. The student achievement results
                     4.1 the students were able to create their mind – mapping better.
                     4.2 most of students did their works at the excellent and very good levels.
                     4.3 most of students were able to do the experiments at the excellent and very good levels.
                     4.4 student learning achievement in Basic Chemistry Course showed at the excellent level and very good level respectively
           5. Students’ opinions on learning Basic Chemistry Course corresponding with daily life experience were at the highest level.
