Abstract

The purpose of this research were: (1) to develop a project-based learning activities entiled “motion” for the second year vocational certificate students ; (2) To compare scientific process skills at vocational certificate level 2 using the integrated scientific process before and after learning with the management of learning with project-based learning management and (3) To compare the ability to solve scientific problems of the second year vocational certificate students before and after study with project-based learning management. The study group was 20 students for the second year vocational certificate students North Isan Technological College 2 Kumphawapi. The instruments used were (1) 4 project-learning management plans, (2) a four-choice, four-choice questionnaire, and (3) A test to measure the ability to solve a scientific problem, form 20 questions, 4 situations. The statistics used to analyze the data were percentage, mean, standard deviation. And test with t-test dependent sample statistics


The results of the research showed that (1) A project-based learning entitled “motion” plans was rated as most appropriate level (gif.latex?\bar{X}=4.60), (2) integrated science process skills after attending the activities (gif.latex?\bar{X}=17.30) was higher than that before attending the activities (gif.latex?\bar{X}=11.25), and (3) the ability to solve science problems after attending the activities (gif.latex?\bar{X}=36.55) was higher than that before attending the activities (gif.latex?\bar{X}=26.70) at significant level .01.
