Development of Physical Education Learning Management Model Based on Constructivist Theory to Promote Creativity and Sportsmanship for Upper Primary School Students

Abstract

The objectives of this research article were 1) to study the learning management conditions; 2) to create and examine the quality; 3) to use the physical education learning management model based on the constructivist theory; and 4) to evaluate the usefulness of the physical education learning management model based on the constructivist theory. The research followed the research and development steps: 1) in terms of physical education learning management conditions, the sample group consisted of physical education teachers in 21 schools under Rajabhat University by purposive sampling, 2) creating and examining the quality of the model, 3) use of the model. The sample group consisted of Prathom Suksa 5 students at the Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University Demonstration School. There was 1 sample group and 1 control group, with 20 students per group. The experiment lasted for 10 weeks. The instruments used for data collection were the creativity test and the sportsmanship test. The statistics used in the research were mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The research results found that 1) the conditions of physical education learning management in all 4 aspects found that the aspect of need and feasibility had the highest mean value, with an average value of 4.36, which was at a high level, 2) the model of physical education learning management according to the constructivist theory was at a very appropriate level, 3) the results of using the model found that 3.1) creativity and sportsmanship after studying of the experimental group students were significantly higher than before studying at a statistical level of .05, 3.2) creativity and sportsmanship after studying of the experimental group students were significantly higher than the control group at a statistical level of .05, 4) the results of the evaluation of usefulness found that the principles were useful for the guidelines for using the model, easy to understand and clear, with an average value of 4.96, which was at the highest level.
