Abstract
The purposes of this research were to 1) compare students’ problem-solving ability before and after intervention, and 2) compare students’ learning achievement before and after intervention. The sample, obtained through cluster random sampling, consisted of 37 students from Prathomsuksa 4/5 at Ban Pak Un (Pak Un Phadungwit) school under the Office Nakhon Phanom Primary Educational Service Area 2, in the second semester of the academic year 2022. The research instruments included 1) lesson plans based on STEM education combined with visual thinking, 2) a problem-solving ability test, and 3) a learning achievement test. The statistics used in research were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent samples. The results were as follows: 1) the problem-solving ability of students after the intervention was higher than that of before at the .01 level of significance, and 2) the learning achievement of students after the intervention was higher than that of before at the .01 level of significance.
