The Effect of Inquiry - Based Learning Management (5Es) with MACRO MODEL Concept to the Scientific Analytical Thinking Ability on Polymers of Grade 11 Students

Abstract

          The  objectives of this pre-experimental research were to: 1) compare the scientific critical thinking ability of grade 11 students between before and after using the Inquiry- Based Learning Management (5 Es) with the MACRO MODEL concept,  2) compare the scientific critical thinking ability of students after using the lnquiry- Based Learning Management with the  MACRO MODEL concept with the criterion of 70 percent of the full score, and 3) assess the development of the scientific critical thinking ability of students after using the Inquiry- Based Learning Management with the   MACRO MODEL. The samples used in this research were 33 students of grade 11 students in at Pathum Thani Province using a cluster random sampling method. The research instruments were: 1) Learning Management Plan using Inquiry - Based Learning Management with the concept of MACRO MODEL and 2) Scientific Critical Thinking Ability Test. The data were analyzed using means, standard deviation, and t-test. The research results were as follows: 1) The scientific analytical thinking ability of students after using inquiry-based learning management with MACRO MODEL concept was higher than before using inquiry-based learning management with MACRO MODEL concept at a 0.05 level of statistical significance. 2) The score of students after using inquiry-based learning management with MACRO MODEL concept were higher than the criterion of 70% of full score at the 0.05 level of statistical significance, and 3) The results assessed the development of the student's in scientific analytical thinking ability after using Inquiry-based learning management with MACRO MODEL concept with relative development scores, overall averaged at the high level.
