Comparison of Science Process Skills of Grade 2 students on the Topic of Earth and Natural Resources which have been taught by Scientific Learning Games and 3-step Model

Abstract

           The purposes of the study were 1) to create and to find the effectiveness of the use of scientific learning games resources on Grade 2 students, 2) to compare the science process skill of Grade 2 students before and after studying by science game and 3-step Model, and 3) to study the satisfaction levels of the students resources through science game. The population of the study was Grade 2/2 and Grade 2/3 of Mathayomwatsing School, Bangbon , Jomthong, Bangkok. The sample group was 79 students of semester 2 obtained by Simple Random Sampling, academic year 2021. The instruments of the study were 1) scientific learning games, 2) the lesson plan of science game learning, 3) the lesson plan of 3 step-teaching approach, 4) the test on science process skill, and 5) the survey of students’ satisfaction levels on the use of science game. The employed statisticalanalyses were mean, standard deviation, percentage and tested hypotheses with t-test dependent sample.
          The research findings shown that, 1) the efficiency level of scientific learning games of Grade 2 students was at E1/E2 equally 80.25/80.12, 2) the result of the comparison on science process skill on scientific learning games of Grade 2 students by studying through science game was significantly higher than 3 step-teaching approach, and 3) the result of the satisfaction level on the use of scientific learning games from the sample group was shown at the high level from overall students which had average number at 4.25 and each item was highly satisfied.
