The Effects of Cooperative Learning STAD Technique with Graphic Organizer on Learning Achievement and Attitude towards Mathematics Learning on Mathayomsuksa 1 Students

Abstract

The purpose of this research were 1) to compare the learning achievement of Mathayomsuksa 1 Students before and after learning by cooperative learning STAD technique with Graphic Organizer in mathematics subject, 2) to compare the learning achievement of  Mathayomsuksa 1 Students after learning by cooperative learning STAD technique with Graphic Organizer and the criteria at 70 percent and 3) to study Mathayomsuksa 1 Students’ attitude towards the cooperative learning STAD technique with Graphic Organizer. The sample consisted of 30 Mathayomsuksa 1 Students of Wattathong School. The obtained by using Cluster random sampling. Research instruments included 1) the 6 lesson plans according to cooperative learning STAD technique with Graphic Organizer in mathematics subject with Integer 2) Mathematics learning achievement test on Integer, the reliability was 0.81 and 3) attitude questionnaire related to cooperative learning STAD technique with Graphic Organizer, the reliability was 0.81. Statistics used for data analysis were mean, standard deviation, dependent sample t-test and one-sample t-test. The research findings were as follows:

            1) The post-test mean score of Mathayomsuksa 1 Students after learning by cooperative learning STAD technique with Graphic Organizer was higher than the pre-test mean score at the .05 level of significance. 2) The learning achievement of Mathayomsuksa 1 Students after learning by cooperative learning STAD technique with Graphic Organizer which was higher than the criteria of 70 percent of the total score at the .05 level of significance. 3) Mathayomsuksa 1 Students’ attitude towards cooperative learning STAD technique with Graphic Organizer in mathematics subject was at the highest level.
