DEVELOPMENT OF PROBLEM-SOLVING ABILITIES, MATHEMATICS LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT, AND SATISFACTION TOWARD LEARNING THROUGH MATHEMATICS LEARNING ACTIVITY PACKAGES ON FRACTIONS BASED ON ACTIVE LEARNING MODEL FOR PRATHOMSUKSA 3 STUDENTS UNDER THE OFFICE OF DUEA–SIWICHAI EDUCATIONAL NETWORK CENTER

Abstract

This research aimed at 1) exploring conditions, challenges, and guidelines for developing mathematics learning management for Prathomsuksa 3 students at Baan Nonudom School, 2) developing the mathematics learning activity packages on Fractions based on active learning model to meet the efficiency of 70/70, and 3) examining the effects regarding problem–solving abilities, mathematics learning achievement and satisfaction toward learning through the developed packages. The sample group, obtained through cluster random sampling, consisted of 20 Prathomsuksa 3 students at the Baan Nonudom School, Duea–Siwichai Educational Network Center, during the first semester of the 2023 academic year. The research tools included: 1) mathematics learning activity packages on Fractions based on the active learning model; 2) a problem–solving ability test; 3) a mathematics learning achievement test; and 4) a satisfaction questionnaire toward learning through the developed packages. The data analysis statistics included mean, percentage, standard deviation, an E1/E2 efficiency index, Effectiveness Index (E.I.), One–Way ANOVA, and t–test for Dependent Samples. The results were as follows: 1. The conditions and challenges in managing mathematics learning activities for Prathomsuksa 3 students at Baan Nonudom School were identified as follows: 1.1 student-related issues, 1.2 teacher-related issues, and 1.3 learning content-related issues. 2. The proposed guidelines for resolving challenges in mathematics learning management for Prathomsuksa 3 students at Baan Nonudom School were identified as follows: 2.1 Student-related issues: The issues are tackled by implementing a student-centered instructional approach that prioritizes active student participation throughout the learning process; 2.2 Teachers-related issues: Techers are encouraged to adopting diverse learning management strategies, providing opportunities for students to engage in knowledge exchange among peers, and maintain ongoing communication with teaches; and 2.3 Learning content–related Issues: The validated mathematics learning activity packages on Fractions, based on the active learning model for Prathomsuksa 3 students are recommended for further implementation. 3. The effects of the implementation indicated that the efficiency of the developed packages was 81.77/90.50, and the effectiveness index reached 0.5957, equivalent to 59.57%. 4. The effects after the implementation of the mathematics learning activity packages revealed that: 4.1 The students’ problem–solving ability after the intervention was higher than that before the intervention at the .01 level of significance. 4.2 The students’ mathematics learning achievement after the intervention was higher than before the intervention at the .01 level of significance. 5. The students’ satisfaction with learning through the developed packages after the intervention was overall at a high level.
