The Development Of Physics Problem-Solving Ability Of Fourth Grade Students Taught By Sscs Model With Team Game Tournament Organizer Technique

Abstract

This research aimed to: (1) compare the physics problem-solving ability of Grade 10 students before and after instruction using the SSCS instructional model integrated with the Team-Games-Tournament (TGT) technique; (2) compare the learning achievement on the topic of linear motion before and after the implementation of the SSCS instructional model combined with the TGT technique; and (3) examine the students' satisfaction with the learning management based on the SSCS instructional model integrated with the TGT technique. The participants in this study were 13 Grade 10 students from Class 1 at Tharuapittayakhom School, who were enrolled in the first semester of the 2024 academic year. The research instruments included: (1) a lesson plan designed using the SSCS model integrated with the TGT technique on the topic of linear motion; (2) a physics problem-solving ability test on linear motion; (3) a physics learning achievement test on linear motion; and (4) a student satisfaction questionnaire regarding the instructional approach. Data were analyzed using mean (M) and standard deviation (SD). The findings revealed that: (1) the students' problem-solving ability in physics after the intervention was higher than before; (2) the students’ learning achievement in linear motion after the intervention was higher than before; and (3) the overall student satisfaction toward the instructional model was at a high level.
