The Development of a Science Learning Activity Model Integrated with Augmented Reality Technology to Enhance Critical Thinking Abilities and Problem Solving for Mathayomsuksa III Students

Abstract

The purposes of this research aimed to 1) develop science learning activity model integrated with augmented reality technology to enhance critical thinking abilities and problem solving for mathayomsuksa 3 students and 2) study the effectiveness of science learning activity model integrated with augmented reality technology to enhance critical thinking abilities and problem solving. The participants sampling by cluster random method were divided into one group with 36 students of the ninth-grade students at Kasetsart University Laboratory School Center for Education Research and Development. The research is one group pre-test and posttest design and it It took 28 hours.

The results found that the students learning achievement after learning with the process were significantly higher than before and also higher than the selected standard efficiency criterion at .01 level. Students had critical thinking abilities higher than before learning significantly and also higher than the selected standard efficiency criterion at .01 level. Problem abilities mean score was in the high level of statistical significance and also higher than the selected standard efficiency criterion at .01 level. Students' opinion about learning science learning activity model integrated with augmented reality technology to enhance critical thinking abilities and problem was in high level of statistical significance at .01 level.
