The Effects of Learning Management Based on Experiential Learning on Learning Achievement and Problem Solving Ability in Mathematics of Mathayomsuksa 5tH Students.

Abstract

The purposes of this research were: 1) to compare mathematics achievements of Mathayomsuksa 5 students between before and after learning through experiential learning, 2) to compare the ability to solve mathematical problem of Mathayomsuksa 5 students after learning through experiential learning with the criteria of 65 percent, and 3) to study students’ satisfaction of Mathayomsuksa 5 students toward experiential learning management. The samples were 32 Mathayomsuksa 5/3 students in Sarasaswitaedklongluang school in the second semester of academic year 2020 and selected by cluster random sampling technique. The research instruments were mathematics lesson plan using experiential learning management, mathematics achievement test, the problem solving abilities in mathematics test, and the students’ satisfaction questionnaire towards experiential learning management. The data collected were analyzed by arithmetic mean, standard deviation and t-test.

The research findings were summarized as follows:

1) The mathematics achievements of Mathayomsuksa 5 students after learning through experiential learning was significantly higher than before at 0.05 level of significance.

2) The ability to solve mathematical problem of Mathayomsuksa 5 students after learning through experiential learning was significantly higher than the criteria of 65 percent at 0.05 level of significance.

3) The students’ satisfaction of toward experiential learning management was at a high level both in overall and each aspect.
