The Effects of Cooperative Learning on Grade 8 Students’ Mathematics Achievement in Exponent Topic Using TGT Technique

Abstract

          The objectives of this study were to 1) to compare the mathematical learning achievement in exponent after the cooperative learning management using TGT technique with the criteria of 70%, 2) compare achievement of students before and after learning management, and 3) study students' satisfaction with learning management using TGT techniques. The sample group in the study were 30 students in grade 8 students' first semester, academic year 2022, at Bannakhupattana "Ko Ro Po Klang Uphathum" School. The samples of the study were selected by using cluster random sampling. The tools used in this research were the lesson plans, an achievement test, and a satisfaction form. The statistics used in data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test.

          The research results found that: 1) Mathematics learning achievement in exponent using TGT technique after cooperative learning management that was greater than 70% at a statistically significant level of .05. 2) Mathematics learning achievement using TGT technique after cooperative learning was higher than before learning at the .05 level of statistical significance. 3) The student's satisfaction with mathematics learning using TGT technique was high.
