Abstract

The objective of this research were 1) Investigate the foundational information for developing a set of learning activities using the 7E learning cycle on percentages for 5th-grade students in the Bang Hriang Phatthana network/Songkhla Primary Educational Service Area Office 2, 2) Create and assess the quality of these learning activities, and 3) Examine the effects of using the learning activities for 5th-grade students at Ban Khuan Niang School/Songkhla Primary Educational Service Area Office 2. The research employed a Research & Development methodology with a sample of 34 5th-grade students from Ban Khuan Niang School, selected through cluster sampling. The instruments included a teacher opinion interview form, a student interest questionnaire, lesson plans, a set of learning activities, an achievement test, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Statistical analyses used were percentages, means, standard deviations, and t-tests. The result of this research found that: 1) The results of the basic data study, which included interviews with 6 teachers, suggested that learning activities should focus on encouraging students to participate in various activities together. The survey of students' interests, considering the areas with the highest percentage, revealed that diverse activities, learning through games, videos, and multiple-choice tests were the most favored. 2) The results of developing a learning activity set using the 7E Learning Cycle on the topic of percentages for 5th-grade students included a total of 9 activity sets. The quality assessment of these learning activities revealed that the experimental use of the activity set had an average score of 44.07, which is 88.14 percent 3) The result of comparing academic achievement found that the post-test was higher than the pre-test with statistical significance at.05, and student satisfaction with the learning process was at the highest level.
