THE DEVELOPMENT COMPUTATIONAL THINKING SKILLS BY USING PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING ACTIVITIES ON USING REASON TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN TECHNOLOGY (COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE) SUBJECT FOR PRATHOMSUKSA 5 STUDENTS

Abstract

The study aimed to, (1) Compare computational thinking skills related to problem-solving in the Technology (Computational Thinking) subject for Prathomsuksa 5 Students. using problem-based learning activities. (2) Compare academic achievement before and after learning about problem-solving in the Technology (Computational Thinking) subject for Prathomsuksa 5 Students. using problem-based learning activities. (3) Assess the satisfaction  level of Prathomsuksa 5 students regerding instruction with Problem-based Learning  activities in the Technology (computional thinkings) subject The Sample group consisted in research is a 5th grade student at Ban Nok Ten School. Ubon Ratchathani Primary Educational Service Area Office, Area 3, Semester 1, Academic Year 2024, 30 Students selected through random sampling The research tools include 1) A Learning management plan using problem-based learning activities 2) A Computational thinking skills test 3) An Academic achievement test and 4) A Questionnaire assessing student satisfaction with learning through computational activities. Statistics used in data analysis include mean and standard deviation. The research findings were as follows: 1.The comparison of computational thinking skills related to problem-solving in the Technology (Computational Thinking) subject for 5th-grade students using problem-based learning activities indicated a significant improvement after the learning period, with a statistical significance level of .05. The average scores before and after learning were 15.88 (39.67%) and 32.50, respectively. 2.The comparison of academic achievement before and after learning showed a significant improvement, with a statistical significance level of .05.  3.The study of student satisfaction with learning using problem-based learning activities yielded an average satisfaction score of ( = 4.73, S.D. = .46)
