Developing Self-Directed Learning Activity Packages with the Mathigon Application for Graphs and Linear Relations to Enhance Mathematical Analysis Skills in Grade 7 Students

Abstract

This research aims to: 1) develop and test the effectiveness of a learning activity set that focuses on Self-Directed Learning Activity Packages with the Mathigon Application for Graphs and Linear Relations to Enhance Mathematical Analysis Skills in Grade 7 Students; 2) study the mathematical analytical skills before and after using the learning activity set created by the researcher; 3) compare the mathematical analytical skills learned through the learning activity set created by the researcher against a benchmark of 75%; and 4) compare the mathematical analytical skills of students in a regular classroom with those in a classroom using the learning activity set created by the researcher. The sample group for this research includes Grade 7 students from Aziz Foundation School in Khok Pho District, Pattani Province, consisting of two classes: an experimental group and a control group, which were obtained through cluster sampling.

The research findings revealed that: 1) the effectiveness of the learning activity set created by the researcher was 86.21/85.09; 2) the average score of mathematical analytical skills after using the learning activity set created by the researcher was significantly higher than before its use at a statistical significance level of 0.05; 3) the average score of mathematical analytical skills learned through the learning activity set created by the researcher after the lesson was significantly higher than the 75% benchmark at a statistical significance level of 0.05; and 4) the average score of mathematical analytical skills in the classroom using the learning activity set created by the researcher was significantly higher than that of the regular classroom at a statistical significance level of 0.05.
