Abstract
The objectives of this research were: 1) to develop a set of learning activities with an efficiency that meets the 80/80 criterion, 2) to compare students’ learning achievement before and after using the learning activity set, 3) to determine the effectiveness index of the learning activity set, and 4) to study students’ satisfaction toward learning with the activity set. The sample consisted of 28 Mathayomsuksa 5/1 students from Saimoonwittaya School in the academic year 2024. The research instruments included a learning activity set based on the GPAS 5 Steps high-order thinking process combined with the STAD technique in Physics 3 on the topic of "Refraction of Light", a learning achievement test, and a student satisfaction questionnaire. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test (Dependent Sample) to compare pre-test and post-test scores. The research findings revealed that the developed learning activity set had an efficiency of 83.75/81.90, which is higher than the established criterion of 80/80. The students’ post-test scores were significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the .05 level of significance. The effectiveness index of the learning activity set was 0.71, indicating a 70.72% improvement in students’ learning progress. Furthermore, students’ satisfaction toward the learning activity set was at the highest level, with a mean score of 4.81.
