Predictive, Observational, Explanatory Learning Management (POE) that Promotes Competencies in Scientific Explanation of Phenomena on Physical Properties of Materials for Grade 4 Students

Abstract

The objectives of this research were (1) to enhance the competence in explaining scientific phenomena of grade 4 students who received the Predictive, Observational, Explanatory learning management (POE), (2) to study their satisfaction with Predictive, Observational and Explanatory learning management (POE) of grade 4 students. The target group was 35 grade 4 students of Municipal School 1 (Ban Pho Klang) who were studying in the second semester of the academic year 2022. The tools used in this research were (1) a predictive, observational, explanatory learning management plans, (2) a scientific phenomena explanation ability test on physical properties of materials and (3) satisfaction with learning management was predicted, observed, explained (POE). Data were analyzed using the following statistics: mean, standard deviation, percentage and t-test.

The findings were as follows:

1. The ability to explain scientific phenomena of Prathomsuksa 4 students who received a prediction, observation, explanation (POE) learning management system had a total average score of 71.31 for the ability to explain scientific phenomena passed the criteria of 70% with a statistical significance of 0.05.
2.  Satisfaction with the predictive, observational, explanatory learning management (POE) of grade 4 students in level 3 was rated at the highest level (=  2.70, S.D. = 0.49).
