THE STUDY OF LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT AND GROUP WORKING BEHAVIORS OF TENTH GRADE STUDENTS BY USING INQUIRY LEARNING METHOD (5E) WITH COOPERATIVE LEARNING JIGSAW I TECHNIQUE ON CELLS AND CELL FUNCTIONS

Abstract

The purpose of this research were to study students’ learning achievement and group working behaviors by using an inquiry learning method (5E) with a cooperative learning jigsaw I technique. The participants of this research were forty-five tenth grade students in the second semester of 2019 academic year at a school in Chonburi province. They were selected through the cluster random sampling. The research instruments consisted of 1) inquiry learning method (5E) with a cooperative learning jigsaw I technique lesson plans 2) learning achievement test 3) group working behaviors evaluation form. Also, the statistics used in this study were dependent sample t-test and one sample t-test. The research findings showed that; the posttest scores of students’ learning achievement after using the inquiry learning method (5E) with the cooperative learning jigsaw I technique were statistically significant higher than the pretest scores at the .05 level and the students’ group working behaviors after using the inquiry learning method (5E) with the cooperative learning jigsaw I technique were in a good level.
