The Development of Science Instructional Model by Using Creative Economy to Enhance Scientific Innovation and Careers Skills for Primary School Students

Abstract

The research aimed to development of science instructional model by using creative economy to enhance scientific innovation and careers skills for primary school students. The purposes were to : 1) determine the efficiency of the model, 2) evaluate the effectiveness of the model, and 3) disseminate the model. The sample comprised 31 six grade student of klongpitthayalongkorn school. The research instruments were : 1) a scientific innovation evaluation form, 2) a careers  skills evaluation form, and 3) satisfaction questionnaire and journal writing. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, percentage ; t-test dependent was used for quantitative data, and content analysis for qualitative data.

          The results were as follows : 1) the model called “PILLARS Model” consisted of five elements : principle, objective, learning process, the evaluate, and the important conditions for using the model ; the teaching learning process comprised 6 steps ; and the efficiency of the model was 85.83/82.23 ; 2) after learning the student indicated different basic science ability using the model their scientific innovation were significantly higher than before using the model at .05 level and during the study period the student showed the development of the scientific innovation was at a high level ; 3) after learning the student indicated different basic science ability using the model their careers skills were significantly higher than before using the model at .05 level and during the study period the student showed the development of the careers skills was at a high level. ; 4) after learning the student satisfied using the model were at the highest level. ; 5) the results of the dissemination indicated that after learning by using this model, the student’ scientific innovation and careers skills were significantly higher than before using the model.
