The Effects of Using the Learning Activity Package on Substance Change According to Constructionism Theory for 5th Grade Students

Abstract

 .The purposes of this research were: 1) to evaluate the efficiency of a learning activity package in Science and Technology, on the topic of Substance Change according to Constructionism Theory, to meet the efficiency criterion of 80/80; 2) to compare the academic achievement of students before and after learning; 3) to compare the academic achievement of students after learning with the 70 percent criterion, and 4) to study students’ attitudes toward learning through the learning activity package according to Constructionism Theory. This study employed a quasi-experimental research design using the One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The sample consisted of 30 fifth-grade students from Paiboonprachanukul School in the 2025 academic year, selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included: 1) the learning activity package on Substance Change according to Constructionism Theory; 2) lesson plans; 3) a learning achievement test, and 4) a questionnaire measuring students’ attitudes toward learning through the learning activity package. The statistics used for data analysis were mean, percentage, standard deviation, dependent t-test, and one-sample t-test.

The research findings revealed that:

1) the efficiency of the Science and Technology learning activity package on Substance Change according to Constructionism Theory was 83.56/81.33.

2) the post-test scores of students’ learning achievement in Science and Technology were significantly higher than the pretest scores at the .05 statistical significance level;

3) the post-test learning achievement scores were significantly higher than the 70 percent criterion at the .05 statistical significance level, and

4) the students’ attitudes toward learning through the learning activity package according to Constructionism Theory after instruction had a mean score of 3.97, indicating that their attitudes toward learning were at a very good level.
