Abstract

The purposes of this research were to: 1) compare learning achievement before and after learning, 2) compare learning achievement after studying with a criterion of 75%, 3) study group working behavior, and 4) examine students' satisfaction with learning using the STAD technique with multimedia. The sample consisted of 24 students from the Faculty of Education, selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included: 1) a learning management plan, 2) a learning achievement test with difficulty values ranging from 0.34 to 0.64, discrimination values ranging from 0.27 to 0.68, and a reliability value of 0.88, 3) an assessment of group working behavior, and 4) a satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, percentage, t-test for dependent samples, and one-sample t-test. The research results were as follows: 1) The learning achievement of students using cooperative learning with the STAD technique and multimedia was significantly higher after learning than before, at the .01 level. 2) The learning achievement of students exceeded the criterion of 75% with statistical significance at the .01 level. 3) The group working behavior of students learning through the STAD technique with multimedia was rated at a good level. 4) Students' satisfaction with collaborative learning using the STAD technique with multimedia was rated at a high level.
