Abstract

This research employed a quasi-experimental design to examine learning achievement, problem-solving abilities, and attitudes of Mathayomsuksa 3 students toward STEM education learning management on the topic of sufficiency economy and country development, and to compare with the learning achievement and problem-solving skills of students learning through a conventional approach. The research instruments consisted of 1) lesson plans, 2) a learning achievement test, 3) a problem-solving skill test, and 4) an attitude test. The samples for this research were Mathayomsuksa 3 students from two classes studying at Datdarunee School in the second semester of the academic year 2017. The students were assigned to experimental group and control groups obtaining through cluster random sampling.

The findings were as follows:

1. In terms of learning achievement, the experimental group students’ mean scores were 23.79 points of 30 points.


2. When comparing students’ learning achievement, the experimental group students had higher learning achievement than students learning through a conventional approach at a statistical significance level of .05.


3. In terms of problem-solving abilities, the experimental group students gained mean scores 6.44 points of 8 points.


4. When the mean scores of the experimental group students and the control group students were compared, the problem-solving abilities of the experimental group students were higher than the control group students at a statistical significance level of .05.


5. The experimental group students reached mean scores of 4.5 points of 5 points with respect to attitudes, showing positive attitudes toward the developed STEM education learning management.
