The 7E Inquiry Teaching Method by Using a Small-Scale Chemistry Laboratory Set to Promote a Learning Achievement and a Science Process Skills for Prathomsuksa 6 Students

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to 1) compare the scientific learning achievement of Pratomsuksa VI students before and after learning by the inquiry method 7E teaching with  small - scale  chemistry laboratory 2) compare the science process skills of Pratomsuksa VI students before and after learning by the inquiry 7E teaching method with  small - scale  Chemistry laboratory.           

The sample were 14 Pratomsuksa VI Students at Banwangkhohai School at Neankham district, Chainat province, the Office of Primary Education in Chainat  obtained by using the cluster random sampling in the 2^sd semester, academic year 2016.

The research instruments were  1) lesson plans which using an inquiry 7E teaching method cooperate with small-scale chemistry laboratory set with a good appropriation level ( =4.23) 2) scientific academic achievement test with 30 items 4 multiple choices, with degree of the difficulty from 0.2 to 0.8, the discrimination power from 0.2 to 0.8, and reliability alpha at 0.89  3) a science process skills test with 25 items, 4 multiple choices, with the degree of the difficulty from 0.2 to 0.8, the discrimination power from 0.2 to 0.8, and the reliability at 0.78.  The data were analyzed by The Wilcoxon signed-ranks test, approved by 3 specialists.

The results of the study found that

1. 1. The scientific academic achievement of Pratomsuksa VI students who received learning management of inquiry 7E teaching method using small-scale chemistry laboratory set was significantly higher at the statistical level of 0.01.


2. 2. The science process skills of Pratomsuksa VI students who received learning management of inquiry method 7E teaching using small-scale chemistry laboratory set was significantly higher at the statistical level of 0.01.
