The effect of Active learning by using Peer-Assisted learning for enhanced creative thinking on graphic design of Mathayomsuksa 5 Students.

Abstract

The purposes of this research were: 1) To develop proactive learning management through peer-assisting technique for enhancing creative thinking in graphic design unit of Mattayomsuksa 5 students to be efficient according to the criterion of 80/80; 2) To compare the academic achievement in pre and post learning through  peer-assisting technique for enhancing creative thinking in graphic design unit of Mattayomsuksa 5 students; and 3) To compare the capacity in creative thinking in pre and post learning through peer-assisting technique for enhancing creative thinking in graphic design unit of Mattayomsuksa 5 students. Target groups were 30 Mattayomsuksa 5 students in Phulaenka Wittayayon School selected through simple sampling method. The research instruments were: 1) learning management plan; 2) learning achievement test; and 3) two items of subjective test on creative capacity. Statistics used were percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-test dependent sample. Findings of this research were: 1) Efficiency of the learning management plan through proactive learning management by using peer-assisting technique for enhancing creative thinking in graphic design unit of Mattayomsuksa 5 students was at 84.89 / 86.11 which was higher than the specified criterion of 80/80. 2) Learning achievement of Mattayomsuksa 5 students through proactive learning management by using peer-assisting technique for enhancing creative thinking in graphic design unit was found that post-learning was higher than pre-learning with statistical significance at the level of .05. 3) Capacity in creative thinking of Mattayomsuksa 5 students through proactive learning management by using peer-assisting technique for enhancing creative thinking in graphic design unit of Mattayomsuksa 5 students in post-learning was higher than in pre-learning with statistical significance at the level of .05.
