THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEARNING MANAGEMENT MODEL BY INTEGRATED CONSRUCTIVIST THEORY AND CRITICAL THINKING APPROACH TO ENHANCING LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT, PROCESS SKILLS, AND ABILITY IN SCIENCE CREATIVE DECISTION MAKING OF PRIMARY STUDENT 5

Abstract

This research aims to develop the learning management model by integrating constructivist theory and critical thinking and to study the results of using the learning management model by integrating constructivist theory and critical thinking approach, including science academic achievement, science process skills, and the ability to make scientific creative decisions before and after learning of primary student 5. The research was conducted in 2 phases: Phase 1: Development of a learning management model by integrating constructivist theory and critical thinking approach. It began with interviews with science teachers about the conditions for organizing science learning and asked for opinions of primary student 5 about learning, context, and elements that promote and support science learning. Data were analyzed by content analysis, mean, and standard deviation. Then use the data as a guideline for creating and finding quality learning management models. Phase 2: Studying the results of using learning management models with 1 classroom of primary student 5. The instruments include learning management plans, science achievement test, the test of scientific process skills, and the test of scientific creative decision-making. Data were analyzed by t-test dependent. The research results found that:

1. Learning management model that integrates constructivist theory and critical thinking to promote academic achievement, process skills, and the ability to make creative scientific decisions. It consists of 5 steps of learning management, including thought-stimulating stage, consideration stage, creating new ideas stage, communication and reflection stage, and applying stage. The results of the evaluation of the suitability of the learning management model were at the highest level.

2. The results of using a learning management model that integrated constructivist theory and critical thinking found that primary student 5 had academic achievement in science, science process skills, and the ability to make scientific creative decisions was higher after receiving the learning management model statistically significant at the .05 level.
