The Development of Learning Model for Enhancement of Mathematical Problem solving for Pratom 6 Students in Chai Badan District, Lopburi Province

Abstract

          The objectives were to 1) study the conditions and problems in teaching and learning management to promote students' mathematical problem-solving ability. 2) develop a model to promote students' mathematical problem-solving ability. 3) Study the effect of using the model. 4) Disseminate the model. The samples used were educational supervisors, school directors, head of mathematics department, math teachers and Prathom 6 students at schools in Chai Badan District. The research tools consisted of a questionnaire on conditions and problems in learning management, a semi-structured in-depth interview form, a satisfaction questionnaire of teachers who participated in the development activities, a teacher manual, a student material, a mathematical problem-solving ability test, a student satisfaction questionnaire
          on Learning Management, and a questionnaire on the opinions of teachers who participated in the learning exchange seminar. The statistics used in data analysis consisted of frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, content analysis, Effectiveness Index (E.I.) and Paired t-test.
         The research resulted showed that 1) The state of learning management that had the lowest performance score was the students were at a low level . The most problematic learning management was the student with the overall problem score was at a high level . 2) The model to promote the ability to solve mathematical problems was the model with 20 lesson plans on percentages and ratios using active learning management that focused on local situation problems so that students could can connect mathematical knowledge with everyday life. There are 6 steps to solving problems as follows: Step 1 Defining the problem; Step 2 Understanding the problem; Step 3 Planning the solution; Step 4 Implementing the plan; Step 5 Checking and presenting the solution results Problem; Step 6 Knowledge application. 3) After the learning management, average problem-solving ability scores was significantly higher than before the learning management at the .05 level with the effectiveness index (E.I.) = 0.665. the overall students satisfied with the learning management was at a high level . 4) The dissemination of the model to promote the ability to solve mathematical problems was done after the researchers improved the model and then disseminated it to mathematics teachers who were a sample group. The evaluation results showed that Participants in the seminar had overall satisfaction at the highest level .
