Enhancing Learning Achievement in Civil Procedure Law II for Bachelor of Laws Students at the Faculty of Social Sciences Using the Cooperative Learning Model with the STAD Technique and Mind Mapping

Abstract

This research aims to develop cooperative learning using the STAD (Student Teams Achievement Divisions) technique combined with mind mapping in the Civil Procedure Law II course and to compare analytical thinking abilities before and after implementing this learning approach. The target group consists of 60 third-year law students from the Faculty of Social Sciences, Srinakharinwirot University, selected through purposive sampling. The research follows a one-group pretest-posttest design. The instruments used include a cooperative learning management plan with the STAD technique and mind mapping, a lecture-based learning plan, an evaluation form for the learning process, and a pretest-posttest analytical thinking assessment. Data were analyzed using mean (𝑥̄), standard deviation (S.D.), dependent t-test, and the effectiveness index (E1/E2) with a set criterion of 80/80. The findings indicate that: 1. The cooperative learning approach using the STAD technique combined with mind mapping in the Civil Procedure Law II course demonstrated high effectiveness, meeting the 80/80 criterion. 2. Students' analytical thinking abilities significantly improved after the implementation of this learning approach compared to before, at a statistical significance level of .05.
