The Development of Learning Activities Using the KWDL Technique for promoting the Analytical thinking Of Mathayomsuksa 2 students of History

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to; 1) develop learning activities with KWDL technique in order to promote the efficiency of critical thinking ability of Mathayomsuksa 2 students in history according to the criteria of 80/80, 2) compare students' critical thinking ability before and after learning with KWDL learning activities and                    3) compare students' learning achievement before and after using KWDL technique. The samples were 36 Mathayom Suksa 2/2 students, Chiang Yuen Pittayakom School, Mahasarakham Province, enrolling in the second semester of academic year 2021, examined by stratified random sampling. The research instruments were 1) 10 the learning management plan using KWDL technique within 10 hours. Mean was 4.88 to 4.96, 2) 20 items Analytical Thinking Ability of four multiple choices test based on 8 situations. IOC value was 0.60 to 0.80; discriminative power was 0.22 to 0.44, and reliability was 0.60. and 3) 25 items achievement multiple-choices test. IOC values ​​ranging was 0.80 to 1.00, discrimination power was 0.20 to 0.75, difficulty ​​was 0.42 to 0.75, and reliability in the whole was 0.84. The statistics were analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The findings of this research found that 1) Learning activities through using KWDL techniques of Mathayomsuksa 2 students had the efficiency of 82.18/81.80, 2) the Mathayomsuksa 2 students’ analytical thinking ability after being taught using KWDL technique was higher than before statistically at the .05 level of significance, and 3) the students’ learning achievement was higher than before statistically at the .05 level of significance.
