Abstract
The purpose of this study was to study the mathematical connection ability on conic section of Grade 11 students after being taught through the STEM education activities. The participants selected by a method of cluster random sampling were 45 Grade 11 students in Bangkok province. Mean (), standard deviation (S.D.), and Z-test for population proportion were employed in analyzing data. The research instruments of this study were: 1) lesson plans that allowed students to learn the topic via STEM education activities, and 2) the mathematical connection ability test on the topic of conic section. The study results revealed that the students over 60% of the participants had mathematical connection abilities on conic section scores after being taught by STEM education activities that satisfied the criteria at a significant level of .01.
