The Effect of Using 7 Steps Learning Cycle with Questioning Technique on Analytical Thinking Skills and Learning Achievement in Science Learning Area of Prathomsuksa 6 Students

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to;  compare the analytical  thinking skills of  prathomsuksa 6 students after learning through 7 step learning cycle and question  technique  with the 70 percent threshold  and  compare learning achievement of  prathomsuksa 6 students after learning through 7 steps  learning cycle and questioning  technique   with 75 percent threshold. The samples used in the research  included 35 Prathomsuksa 6 students in Khian Sa District, Surat Thani province  in  the  second  semester of the 2015 academic  year. They were selected by  simple random . The tools used in this research included 5 lesson plans, using  7 steps learning and questioning  technique. A measure analytical thinking skills  and learning achievement  test. The  data were analyzed by using arithmetic means,  percentage,  standard deviations and  t-test was utilized to test hypotheses.

The results of the research were  as  follows :

1. 1. Prathomsuksa 6 students  taught with the 7 steps  learning  cycle  with  questioning   technique  showed  a higher score in analytical  thinking   skills the  70 percent threshold  at .05 statistical  significant level.

2. Prathomsuksa   6  students  taught with the 7 steps  learning  cycle  with  questioning   technique  showed  a higher score in scientific achievement the  75 percent threshold at .05 statistical  significant  level
