Development of Active Learning Activities Using Cooperative Learning, STAD Technique in the Citizenship Duty Subject for Grade 10 Students at That Phanom School, Nakhon Phanom Province

Abstract

The purposes of this research were (1) to study the current situation of activity implementation, (2) to develop activities, (3) to compare academic achievement, and (4) to assess the level of satisfaction with the active learning activities using cooperative learning, STAD technique in the Citizenship Duty subject for Grade 10 students at That Phanom School, Nakhon Phanom Province. This experimental research used simple random sampling with classrooms as the sampling units, dividing into experimental and control groups of 30 students each. The research instruments included a questionnaire on the current situation of activity implementation and a questionnaire on satisfaction, with reliability values of 0.90 and 0.88, respectively. The active learning activities using the cooperative learning, STAD technique, in the Citizenship Duty subject were developed by the researcher. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the differences between the experimental and control groups were compared using an independent sample t-test. The findings were as follows: 1. The overall situation of activity implementation for Grade 10 students at That Phanom School was at a high level (X̄ = 3.80, S.D. = 0.94). 2. The efficiency of the learning activities met the specified criteria, with E1/E2 = 80.22/83.33, showing that the activities effectively promoted student learning. 3. The academic achievement of the students showed that those who participated in the active learning activities using the STAD technique achieved significantly higher academic results compared to the control group at the 0.05 level. 4. The overall satisfaction evaluation was at a high level (X̄ = 4.25, S.D. = 0.71), indicating that this teaching approach effectively enhanced students' understanding and learning.
