A Study of Science Learning Achievement, Creative Thinking and Satisfaction of 7thGrade Students Through STEM Learning Activity Packageson Soilless Culture

Abstract

The objectives of this studywere as follows: (1) to compare the science learning achievementof the 7^th grade students before and after learning by using STEM learning activity; (2) tocompare the science learning achievement with the criteria of 60%; (3) to study the students’ creative thinking; and (4) to studysatisfaction toward learning with a STEM learning activity package on soilless culture. The samples of the researchwere 32 Seventh Grade students in NikhomSongklorVittaya School, who studied in the second semester of the 2020academic year. The sample was obtained with the purposive sampling technique. The research design was a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The participants were studied using a STEM learning activity package on soillessculture. The research instruments were: (1) a STEM learning activity package; (2) lesson plans; (3) a science learningachievement test; (4) a creative thinking test, and (5) a satisfaction survey form. A t-test for dependent samples wasused to analyze the data. The research findings were as follows: (1) the scores on science learning achievement testafter students learning with STEM learning activity package higher than before and with a learning significance levelof .01 and higher than the criteria set at 60% not significance; (2) creative thinking in science was at a very good level;and (3) the satisfaction of toward learning with STEM learning activity package was at a good level.
