Abstract

This research is quasi-experimental in research. The objectives of this study were to 1) compare the learning achievement of pre- and post-study students with phenomenon-based learning management and 2) to study the effect of explanatory abilities. Science of the 3rd-grade students who have been organized to learn by using a phenomenon as a base about the sun and life. The sample group was Grade
3 students at a large primary school. Under the Pathum Thani Primary School District Office 2, in the second semester of the academic year 2021, 20 people were obtained by group randomization. The tools used in the research consisted of (1) learning management plan (2) a form to measure the achievement of students before and after school and (3) the scientific explanatory abilities evaluation: claims, evidence, and reasoning were divided into 3 levels: 1-3. Statistics used in data analysis were percentage, mean score, standard deviation and the t-test statistic of the two samples that were related (t-test dependent).


The results showed that 1) students after receiving the learning management using the phenomenon-based model had higher learning achievements than before receiving the learning management at statistically significant levels of .05, and 2) the students had an average score of 11.19 out of 15, with a 74.6 percentage, which is classified as having a good level of competence.
