Abstract
The objectives of this research were to 1) develop and examine the effectiveness of science learning hands-on activities package using engineering design process, 2) compare creative and innovative thinking skills of higher vocational certificate students before and after learning, 3) compare creative and innovative thinking skills of higher vocational certificate students after learning according to 75 percent standard criteria, and 4) study the students’ attitude towards science construction and interior design course after using activities package. The target group in this research was 29 higher vocational certificate students in the first year of architecture, Yala Technical College, obtained by a purposive sampling technique. The research tools included science learning hands-on activities package using engineering design process, learning management plans, a creative and innovative thinking skills test, and an attitudinal survey. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, one sample t-Test, and paired sample t-Test. The research findings showed that
1) The learning activities package created by the researcher reached efficiency of 80.86/80.75 standard criteria. 2) The creative and innovative thinking skills scores of students after learning using activities package higher than before learning at a statistically significant level of .05. 3) The creative and innovative thinking skills scores of students after learning using activities package were exceeded 75 percent criteria at a statistically significant level of .05. 4) The students’ attitude towards of science for construction and interior design course after using activities package were totally high level ( = 4.11, S.D = 0.93)
