Development of Learning Management by Using a Scaffolding Technique to Enhance Creative Thinking on a Subject of Occupational Work for the Ninth Grade Students by Using an Internal Support Experimental Model

Abstract

The objectives of the research were 1) to develop learning management by using a scaffolding technique using an internal support experimental model to enhance the creative thinking of the students and 2) to compare the creative thinking of the students by using learning management with a scaffolding technique measured before and after learning by using an internal support experimental model. The samples were 17 students studying in the ninth grade at Pa Daeng Nong Hu Nong Tor Non Thai School. They were randomized by multi-stage random sampling. The research instruments were 1) an interview form for teachers teaching an occupational work subject, 2) an interview form for local wisdom, 3) learning management plans, 4) a test for creative thinking, 5) an observation behavior form for the students’ creative thinking, and 6) an interview form for the students’ creative thinking. The statistics used were mean, standard deviation, a hypothesis test, one-way and multiple analysis of various repeated measurements, and Hotelling’s T2 calculation with repeated measures.

The research findings were found as follows.

1. The learning management by using the scaffolding technique examined its quality by the experts had the mean scores between 4.53–4.75 and the standard deviation between 0.36-0.62 in the overall at the highest level.
2. The findings of the development of the learning management by using the scaffolding technique showed that when using the learning management by using the scaffolding technique, the students had the mean scores in creative thinking in the overall and in each aspect in thinking fluently, flexibly, initially, and neatly between before and after learning differently with the statistical significance at the level of .05.
