The Impact of a 5E Inquiry Learning Model with Chatbot Integration on Secondary 1 Students' Science Achievement in Basic Units of Life at Sikaoprachaphadungwit School

Abstract

This research aimed (1) to compare the post-test scores between secondary 1 students who received the 5Es inquiry-based learning model (5Es) with chatbots and students who received the traditional learning model, and (2) to study of the satisfaction of secondary 1 students towards the 5E inquiry-based learning with chatbot. This research was quasi-experimental research. The sample group used in this research, which was obtained by cluster random sampling, included, (1) the experimental group consisted of Mathayom 1/2 students who received the 5-step inquiry-based learning (5Es) method along with a chatbot, (2) the control group consisted of Mathayom 1/3 students who received traditional learning management. The research instruments used to collect data were: (1) lesson plans using the 5E inquiry-based learning with chatbot on the topic of basic units of life, (2) traditional instruction lesson plans on the topic of basic units of life, (3) a chatbot on the topic of basic units of life, (4) a learning achievement test on the topic of basic units of life, and (5) an assessment form for the satisfaction of Secondary 1 students towards the 5E inquiry-based learning with chatbot.The statistics used for data analysis were mean, percentage, and standard deviation, and independent sample t-test. The study found that: 1) the academic achievement of the experimental group of students who received the 5E inquiry-based learning with chatbot was significantly higher than those of the traditional instruction who received the normal learning management at the .05 statistical level. 2) Secondary 1 students had the highest level of satisfaction with the 5-step inquiry-based learning method using a chatbot on the topic of the basic units of living things.
