THE DEVELOPMENT BASIC SCIENCE PROCESS SKILL AND ACHIEVEMENT IN SCIENCES BY USING SCIENTIFIC METHOD FOR STUDENTS IN ELEMENTARY 3

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) compare basic science process skill of elementary 3 students after learning management using scientific method compared to the 80% criteria 2) compare achievement in sciences of elementary 3 students after learning management using scientific method compared to the 80% criteria 3) study elementary 3 students’ satisfaction to ward the scientific method. The samples, selected by simple randomization, were 6 elementary 3 students studying in the first semester in academic year 2023 at Watnasuk School under the secondary Educational Service Area Office Chumphon. The research tools consisted of 1) a learning management plan using scientific method, 2) the assessment basic science process skill, 3) the students’ achievement in sciences. and 4) an interview form on the satisfaction towards using scientific method. The data were analyzed by using percent, mean, standard deviation, t-test, and content analysis.The research results were as follows 1) Basic science process skill of elementary 3 students after organizing learning using scientific method. The average score was statistically significantly above the 80% threshold of .05. 2)Science achievement of elementary 3 students after organizing learning using scientific method. The average score was no statistically significantly above the 80% threshold of .05. and 3) Grade 3 students are satisfied with the learning arrangement using scientific method
