Blended Learning by Using Polya's Process to improve Mathematics Problems Solving for Phathomseuksa 5 Students, Anuban Thasapol Suksa School

Abstract

The purposes of this research aimed to: 1) examine, explore and encourage the Polya’s conceptual, mathematic problem-solving process. 2) study students’ ability for math problems solving. 3) investigate academic achievement with the model, and 4) study the students’ satisfaction toward the model. The sample consisted of 23 Phathomseuksa 5 students at Anuban Thasapolsuka school. The research instruments were:
1) The lesson plans, 2) The student’s journal writing, 3) A Mathematics problem solving ability test 4) an achievement test, and 5) The students’ satisfaction form. The statistics used in the research were mean and standard deviation.

            The results of the research were as follows: 1) there were four steps of blended learning model, which supported the mathematics problems solving reduced the problems on time and place. According to each step of the learning activity enhanced the students problems solving step by step, more over the students were motivated to engage their learning activities. These improved the students mathematics problems solving ability at a good level, 2) the students’ mathematics problem solving ability was as the criteria, 3) the students’ achievement test mean scores were as the school criteria at 70%, and 4) the students’ satisfaction toward the blended learning model was at the high level.
