Development of Learning Achievement and Pursuit of Learning Using Inquiry Learning Management (7Es) with Gamification on the Topic of the World and Changing, and Energy Resources in Science Subject of Grade 8 Students

Abstract

The objectives of this research were; 1) to compare the learning achievements in science subjects of Grade 8 students before and after learning through the inquiry learning management (7Es) combined with gamification, 2) to compare the learning achievements in science subjects of Grade 8 students after learning through the inquiry learning management (7Es) combined with gamification with the determined criterion of 70 percent, and 3) to study the pursuit of learning of Grade 8 students after learning. The population was 301 (8 classrooms) of Grade 8 students who studying in the second semester of the academic year 2022 at Satri Wat Rakhang School, Bangkok. The sample was 44 students (1 classroom) of Grade 8 students who studying in the second semester of the academic year 2022 at Satri Wat Rakhang School, Bangkok derived from cluster random sampling. The research tools consisted of 1) five science lesson plans, 2) a science learning achievement test, and 3) an observation form for the pursuit of learning. The statistics used for analyzing data were mean, standard deviation, and t-test.

The results of the research showed that:

1) learning achievements in science subjects of Grade 8 students after learning through the inquiry learning management (7Es) combined with gamification was statistically higher than before at the .05 level of significance,

2) learning achievements in science subjects of Grade 8 students after learning through the inquiry learning management (7Es) combined with gamification was statistically higher than the determined criterion of 70 percent at the .05 level significance,

3) the pursuit of learning of Grade 8 students after learning was at a high level.
