The Development of Learning Provision Model for Enhancing Achievement and Analytical Thinking for Undergraduate Students Dhonburi Rajabhat University

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to develop and study the effectiveness of an learning model for enhancing achievement and analytical thinking of undergraduate students by applying research and development learning. The research procedure consisted of 4 stages as follows; 1) Studying the basic data, ideas and theories from literatures 2) Developing the learning model 3) Implementing the learning model and 4) Evaluating the effectiveness of the learning model. the research wran was a pretest–posttest control group design. The samples were undergraduate students of the Faculty of Education, Dhonburi Rajabhat University second year during 2015 academic year. Researcher employed cluster random sampling by random sampling two groups of students, then simple random sampling group into experimental (33 students) and control groups (25 students). The period of study lasted 60 hours. Data analysis were done by mean, standard deviation and One-way MANOVA with repeated measures. The results of the research revealed that: The instructional process of the developed model consisted of 5 stages; 1) Reviewing, 2) Analyzing, 3) Sharing, 4) Constructing, and 5) Applying.The effectiveness of the developed instructional model were as follow; The mean scores on achievement and analytical thinking abilities of the experimental group were significantly higher than the control group at the .01 level. The posttest mean scores on achievement and analytical thinking abilities of the experimental group were significantly higher than the pretest scores at the .01 level and the students in the experimental group were highly satisfied with the model.
