The Development of Mathematical Skills and Processes Learning Unit Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple of Grade 6 Students Using Polya’s Problem-Solving Process with Think-Pair-Share Techniqe

Abstract

           The purposes of this research were: 1) to compare mathematical skills and processes in learning units greatest common divisor and least common multiple of students using Polya's problem-solving process with Think-Pair-Share Technique 2) compare mathematical skills and processes in learning units greatest common divisor and least common multiple of students using Polya's problem-solving process together with Think-Pair-Share Technique with the 60 percent criterion and 3) to study the satisfaction in learning mathematics of students using Polya's problem-solving process with Think-Pair-Share Technique. The sample was cluster randomly assigned to a group of 28 students of Grade 6 students in Nikhompattanasaitho 11 school, Ban Kruat district, Burirum province in the first semester of 2023 academic year. The instruments were the 8 lessons with suitability at a high level ( = 4.39), a mathematics learning test with consistency index value of 0.60 – 1.00, and questionnaire on the satisfaction with reliability of 0.89. The statistical procedures used for data analysis were arithmetic mean, percentage, standard deviation, t-test dependent group and one-sample.
             The research results found that:
             1. Mathematics skills and processes learning unit greatest common divisor and least common multiple of students by Using Polya’s Problem-Solving Process with Think-Pair-Share Technique was significantly higher than the one before learning at the .05 level of significance.
             2. Mathematics skills and processes learning unit greatest common divisor and least common multiple of students by Using Polya’s Problem-Solving Process with Think-Pair-Share Technique, in term of percentage was 75.97 which was higher than the 60 percent of the criterion.
             3. Satisfaction of students after learning with Polya's problem-solving process combined with Think-Pair-Share Technique was at a good level.
