The development of teaching BHC model to promote the creativity of the kindergarten students year 3, Tassaban 1 (Engseangsamukkee) School . Hat Yai District, Songkhla province

Abstract

                 This research aimed at studying basic necessities in the development of BHC model. In order to develop and try to implement the method to students as well we assess its efficacy. The assessment criteria was based on a comparison between creativity and creativity skills of the sample group before and after the implementation of BHC model. The sample group were 30 children in kindergarten year 3/1 who were studying in the 2^rd semester of the academic year 2014 , Tessaban 1 school (Eng Siang Samakkhee) , Hatyai ,Songkhla. The  sample was selected specifically. Research tools include questionnaires and group discussion. BHC model consists of 30 creative activities , such a method is implemented in the class for 10 weeks , 3 days per week , 40 minutes per day. The research tools , employed in the study are the following : a learning experience  provision based on BHC teaching method , a consistency evaluation model to evaluate BHC model , a creativity evaluation model and a creativity skill evaluation model. This research was conducted in order to study basic needs of parents , students and teachers. Pre-testing was conducted by using the creativity evaluation form and the creativity skill evaluation form , then BHC model is implemented in the class of the class by using the creativity evaluation from and the creativity skill evaluation form. Data collected from pre-test and post tests are analyzed to find the mean value , the standard deviation , the independent t-test value , Item objective Congruence index ZIOCX , Alpha coefficient value and the Kuder and Richardson Formula 20 (KR20) , Item difficulty (P) and discrimination (r) value and the efficiency of an innovative prototype by using the formula E₁/E₂. The study results were summarized as follows :

1. The result of the study on the basic needs in the development of BHC teaching method generally show that these 3 sample groups are extremely in need of the development of BHC teaching method with M=4.13 : The group discussions held among the 3 sample groups imply that the students are lack of creativity.


2. BHC model was a teaching model which is being developed based on Piaget , Bruner and Guilford’s cognitive and intellectual development theory. The theory suggests advantages of using the High / Scope educational approach and the constructivist theories of Piaget which are beneficial to students’s educational experiences. The model consists of three main elements which are 1). Brainstorming 2). Implementing 3).drawing conclusions and exhibiting. The index of item objective congruence (IOC) is analyzed and then variables with an IOC of 0.88.


3. The experiment result of BHC model implementation in the three sample groups shows E₁/E₂ values are above set criterion.


4. The result of BHC model evaluation are as follows :

                      4.1   BHC model efficiency is 81.86/84.25

                      4.2   The student’s creativity in post-test is higher than in pre-test with the statistical significance of 0.01

                        4.3        The student’s creativity skills in post-test are higher than in pre-test with the statistical significance of 0.01
