Abstract
This research aimed to 1) examine the current conditions and needs for developing a physics teaching model, 2) construct and develop the teaching model, 3) implement the teaching model, and 4) evaluate and validate the teaching model. The target group consisted of 41 Mathayom 5 students in the second semester of the 2024 academic year at Muang Phon Pittayakhom School, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included lesson plans, an academic achievement test, a physics problem-solving ability assessment, a scientific mind evaluation form, and a satisfaction questionnaire.The findings revealed that: 1) The current conditions were at a moderate level, while the desired conditions were at the highest level; 2) The teaching model comprised five components: principles, objectives, instructional process (consisting of seven steps: Elicitation Phase, Facing Problem Situations, Analyzing and Seeking Information, Planning Stage, Action Step, Creating Conclusions, and Evaluation Stage), measurement and evaluation, and feedback; 3) The implementation results showed that the efficiency ratio (E1/E2) was 82.01/81.08, and the effectiveness index was 0.7135. Post-instructional academic achievement and physics problem-solving abilities were significantly higher than pre-instructional scores at the .05 level. Additionally, students' scientific mind and satisfaction were at the highest level; 4) The evaluation and validation of the teaching model indicated the highest level of appropriateness.
