Development of Craetive Problem Soolving Skills by Using Teaching Methods of the Four Noble Truths of Mathayomsuksa 2 Students

Abstract

This research aims: 1) To study the development of creative problem-solving skills by using teaching methods of the Four Noble Truths with Mathayomsuksa 2 students; 2) To study the results from the development of creative problem-solving skills by using teaching methods of the Four Noble Truths with Mathayomsuksa 2 students. The sample included students of Mathayomsuksa 2, a total of 12 persons from Wat Ban Sakae Sam School in Sakae Sam Sub-district, Mueang Buri Ram District, Buri Ram Province. This research used the simple random sampling method. The instruments of this research included: 1) Learning management plans; 2) A set of examinations to test creative problem-solving skills. The statistics used in the research included 1) Mean, 2) Index of item-objective congruence (IOC), 3) Cronbach’s alpha, and 4) Standard Deviation (S.D.).

               The findings were as follows:

1. The process of learning creative problem-solving based on the Four Noble Truths enables learners to change their creative problem-solving thinking behaviour as follows:1) Stimulating awareness to perceive problems (Dukkha): Most students can accurately identify the real problems from the prompts and the impact of the problems 2) Finding the cause (Samudaya) Students can search for the causes of problems by actually investigating real situations data 3) Goal Setting (Nirodha) Students can collaborate to set goals directly according to the causes of the problem 4) Innovation Creation (Magga) Students can brainstorm to design diverse ideas 5) Practice (Magga) Students can carry out tasks according to the planned schedule and 6) Learning reflection (Magga) Students can reflect on their learning based on assigned tasks and identify encountered problems and obstacles.

2. Mathayomsuksa 2 students who received learning management to develop creative problem-solving skills by using teaching methods of the Four Noble Truths achieved the score for creative problem-solving skills with an average of 29.58, which accounted for 73.96 percent, and there were 10 students who passed the criteria, which accounted for 83.33 percent of the total number of students, indicating that the scores were higher than the specified criteria.
