Abstract

This qualitative action research aims here to implement Phenomenon – Based learning approach (PhBL), and to examine Mathematical connection skills in Geometry of 12 fifth grade students’ in Opportunity Expansion School in Kamphaeng Phet. The instruments were lesson plans, reflective journals, Mathematical connection skill test and worksheets. The research comprising of 3 cycles as follows 1) Plan 2) Act 3) observe and 4) Reflect. Data were analyzed by content analysis and data creditability by data triangulations.


The results revealed that the teacher has to choose phenomenon in accordance with school or village, use questions to encourage students to connect knowledge, has good interaction with students and assess their skills by variety of ways. Also this research found that their Mathematical connection skills increased all elements as follow the connection between mathematics and mathematics, the connection between mathematics and others and the connection between mathematics and daily life.
