Abstract
The purposes of this research were to: 1) develop lesson plans on the “Materials and Matter” unit for Grade 4 students based on problem-based learning with infographics to meet the efficiency of 80/80; 2) compare the student’s science process skills before and after the intervention; and 3) compare the students learning achievement before and after the intervention. The sample, obtained through cluster random sampling, consisted of 30 Grade 4 students from Choengchumratnukul School, under Sakon Nakhon Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, during the second semester of the academic year 2023. The research instruments included problem-based learning lesson plans with infographics, a science process skills test, and a learning achievement test. Statistical methods used for data analysis included percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent samples.
The results of this research were as follows: 1) The lesson plans on the “Materials and Matter” unit based on problem-based learning with infographics for Grade 4 students achieved an efficiency of 81.07/82.17, which was higher than the defined criteria of 80/80. 2) The students’ science process skills after the intervention were higher than before, at the .01 significance level. 3) The student’s learning achievement after the intervention was higher than before, at the .01 significance level.
