Development of Cooperative Learning Activities with STAD Techniques on Economics for Grade 8 students

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) develop the cooperative learning activities with STAD techniques on Economics for Grade 8 students as the effective criteria at 80/80, 2) compare academic achievement before and after learning with the model, 3) study the Grade 8 students’ teamwork behavior after learning with the model, and 4) study the students’ satisfaction toward the learning model. The sample consisted of 38 students in Chaing Yuen Pittayakom School which using the cluster random sampling. The research tools were 1) cooperative learning lesson plans, 2) an achievement test, 3) a teamwork behavior assessment form, 4) a students’ satisfaction form. The statistics used precentage, mean, average, standard deviation, and t-test (dependent)
 
The results of the research were as follows; 1) The learning medel was efficiency at 83.07/80.96 as the research criteria. 2) after learning with the model, the students earned statistically significant higher scores at .05 level. 3) the students’ teamwork behavior mean score was moderated at 2.39 (S.D. = 0.06), and 4) the students were satisfied the learning model at the highest level at 4.56 (S.D. = 0.03).
