Abstract

Using active learning with action research was conducted to compare the students achievement in biology for teacher course and integrated science process skills before and after implementing active learning and investigate satisfaction after active learning activities. The target groups were 27 undergraduate biology students Faculty of Education Prince of Songkla University. The research
instruments used were learning plan, learning achievement test, integrated science process skills test and the satisfaction assessment form. The mean, standard deviation, t-test and repeated ANOVA used in data analysis.The finding revealed that the learning achievement was significantly higher than before at .01 level after being taught using active learning (Pretest: M =22.67 S.D. = 4.79,
Posttest: M = 29.74 S.D. = 5.25). The mean of the integrated science process skills was significantly different at the .05 level. The satisfaction on Active Learning was at the highest level. In addition, the pre-service teacher's confidence in teaching practice increased from the higher level to the
highest level. It was found that active learning activities in biology for teacher course contributed to teacher professional development in order to increase content under standing, science process skills and enhance for classroom activities for teaching practice in the next academic year.
