THE EFFECT OF ACTIVE LEARNING WITH PROJECT-BASED LEARNING ON LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT AND PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITIES ON DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY FOR EIGHTH GRADE STUDENT

Abstract

This research article the purposes of this research were to compare learning achievement and problem solving abilities of eighth grade students before learning with active learning with project – based learning with after learning. The participants were eighth grade students on second semester of 2020 academic year at a school in Chon buri Province. They were selected by cluster random sampling. The research instruments were active learning with project - based learning lesson plans, learning achievement test and problem solving abilities test. The data were analyzed by Mean, Standard Deviation and Dependent sample t-test. The results were summarized as follows: 1) The learning achievement of students after learning with active learning with project - based learning were statistically significant higher than before learning at the .05 level 2) The problem solving abilities of students after learning with active learning with project - based learning were statistically significant higher than before learning at the .05 level.
