Development of the Model of Learning Activity Based on Constructionism to Enhance Scientific Creative Thinking Ability of Matayomsuksa 2 students

Abstract

This study aimed to develop the Model of Learning Activity Based on Constructionism to Enhance Scientific Creative Thinking Abilities of Matayomsuksa 2 students by doing four steps: step 1, to study basic information. Step 2, to develop the learning model. Step 3, to try-out the developed learning model. Examples are set into 2 groups; group 1, the experiment group is 22 Matayomsuksa 2 students, Science-Math Program, Demonstration School Phetchaburi Rajabhat University, and had been taught with the developed learning model for 1 semester. Group 2, the control group is 36 Matayomsuksa 2 students, Science-Math Program, Prommanusorn Phetchaburi School, and had not been taught with the developed learning model. Students in both groups were divided into high-achievers, moderate-achievers, and low-achievers. Step 4, to improve the developed learning model. Research instruments were scientific creative thinking ability in science test, and the evaluation form in using the developed learning model. Statistics for data analysis were mean, standard deviation, t-test, and one way ANOVA.  The findings revealed that the developed learning model composed of step 1 Sharing, step 2 Planning, step 3 Creating, step 4 Presenting, step 5 Criticizing, step 6 Summarizing.  Scientific creative thinking abilities of experimental group after studying with the developed learning model were significantly higher than the control group’s at the .05 level.  Scientific creative thinking abilities of experimental group, different in learning achievement, after studying with the developed learning model were not different. The experimental group was satisfied with the developed learning model at the high level.
