The Development of Problem Solving Ability and Achievements of Mathematics Education Using a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) with an Electronic Training Package for Grade 10 Students

Abstract

          The objectives of this research were 1) to study problem solving ability of grade 10 students using problem-based learning together with electronic practice set and 2) to study mathematics learning achievement. The target group was grade 10 students at Non Sa-ad Wittaya School under the Office of Chaiyaphum Secondary Educational Service Area, academic year 2021with total number of 20 students by purposive sampling. This research was pre-experimental research design. The instruments included 1) 7 learning management plans with 14 hours, 2) a test to measure the problem solving ability on Fundamental Principles of Counting  with 7 items subjective model and each item  used rubric scoring criteria and 3)  Learning achievement test was a multiple choice with 4 choices, 20 items. The data were analyzed by basic statistics comprising mean, standard deviation and percentage.
          The research results were found that:
          1. After using problem-based learning together with electronic practice set, grade 10 students were able to solve mathematical problems averagely at 72.9, or 61.2%, and 18 students passed the criteria at 90%. The plan implementation was the highest level at 18.75, and the result verification was the lowest part at 17.55 in high level.
          2. After using problem-based learning together with electronic practice set, grade 10 students gained the mathematics learning achievement was 15.65 or 78.25% and there were 18 students or 90% of total students passed the criteria.
