DEVELOPMENT OF A LEARNING MANAGEMENT MODEL THAT PROMOTES GEOMETRIC THINKING BASED ON LEARNING STYLES OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) To study the geometric thinking based on the learning style of elementary school students. 2) To develop a learning management model that promotes geometric thinking based on the learning style of elementary school students. 3) study the efficiency of the learning management model and 4) study the effectiveness of the learning management model. This study was an experimental model, with a pretest-posttest and a one group design with 20 Prathom Suksa Six students at Khao Champa School (Tian Rat Uthit) in the first semester of the 2022 academic year, who were obtained from a specific selection with a purpose and organize learning activities according to the subject of learning mathematics on measurement and geometry. The duration of the learning activities was eight plans of four hours each, which were learning outside two hours and inside the classroom two hours, with a total of 32 hours. The findings were as follows: 1) Geometric thinking based on the learning style of elementary school students. There were 12 different indicator behaviors according to 3 levels of thinking and 4 different learning styles. 2) The developed learning management model consisted of 6 important elements: 2.1) principles 2.2) objectives 2.3) content of learning 2.4) The learning management process consists of 5 steps, namely 2.4.1) style learning, 2.4.2) discussion and exchange, 2.4.3) collaborative learning, 2.4.4) knowledge summary, and 2.4.5) application 2.5) Media and learning resources and 2.6) Measurement and evaluation 3) Effective learning management model from the overall average assessment results were at a very appropriate level and 4) The learning management model was effectiveness by 75% of all students had a higher level of geometric thinking and the students were satisfied with the learning activities process at a high level.
