THE DEVELOPMENT LEARNING ACTIVITY USING ACTIVITY - BASED LEARNING WITH GPAS 5 STEPS LEARNING PROCESS TO ENHANCE THE COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM - SOLVING COMPETENCY IN PHYSICS SUBJECT APPROACH ON CURVILINEAR MOTIONS FOR MATHAYOMSUKSA 4 STUDENTS

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to: 1) create and determine the effectiveness, 2) study the experimental results, and 3) study the satisfaction towards learning activities using activity – based learning GPAS 5 steps learning process to enhance the collaborative problem - solving competency in Physics subject approach on curvilinear motions for Mathayomsuksa 4 students. The research process involved three stages: First, creation and effectiveness stage, the research instruments were the appropriateness evaluation form of the learning activity plans, Rubric scoring of the collaborative problem - solving competency and the collaborative problem- solving competency test are 2 situations. Second, trial stage, the research participants included 14 Mathayomsuksa 4 students at Boryangwitthaya School, the research instruments was the learning activity plans. And finally, the third stage, to study student satisfaction, the research instruments were assessment of students satisfaction form. The data were analyed by mean, S.D., t-test dependent, t-test for one sample and content analyed. The results of the research were as follows: 1) Create a total of 4 learning plans. Activities were suitability at the very good level and the result of effectiveness equal 0.67 which met the criteria acceptable. 2) The students had developed higher collaborative problem - solving competency. In the beginning, students didn't show this competency so they were motivated by an interesting situation. Next phase, students were trained until they were fluent in the collaborative problem - solving competency. After finishing all lessons, students had the collaborative problem - solving competency. As the posttest was higher than the pretest and higher than the determined criterion of 70 percent at the statical significance .05.3) The students had the satisfaction for learning management by activity – based learning with GPAS 5 Steps at very good level in total parts.
