The Effects of Cooperative Learning by TGT Technique with Graphic Organizer on Learning Achievement and Attitude toward Mathematic of Prathomsuksa 5 Students

Abstract

The purpose of this research were 1) to compare the learning achievement of Prathomsuksa 5 students before and after learning by cooperative learning by TGT technique with Graphic Organizer in mathematics subject 2) to compare the mathematics learning achievement of Prathomsuksa 5 students after learning by cooperative learning by TGT technique with Graphic Organizer with the criteria of 70 percent of the total score; and 3) to study the attitude towards learning mathematics of students in Prathomsuksa 5 students after learning by cooperative learning by TGT technique with Graphic Organizer. The sample consisted of 16 Prathomsuksa 5 students of Watphatung School. The sample of this study was collected through Cluster Random Sampling. The research instruments included 1) the according to cooperative learning by TGT technique with Graphic Organizer in mathematics with a very appropriate quality. 2) Mathematics learning achievement test on conic section, with the IOC indexes between 0.67 - 1.00, degree of difficulty between 0.23 – 0.77, the discrimination between 0.23 – 0.62, and a reliability coefficient of 0.80  and 3) attitude questionnaire towards learning on Mathematics subject with the IOC indexes between 0.67-1.00 and reliability coefficient of 0.86. Statistics used for data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The research findings were as follows:

            1) The mathematics subject achievement had post-test higher than that of pre-test score at the .05 level of significance. 2) The mathematics subject achievement was higher than the 70 percent of the total score at the .05 level of significance. 3) The attitude towards learning in mathematics was at the good level.
