PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING ACTIVITY ON THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND LUNAR PHENOMENA FOR PATHOMSUKSA 4 STUDENTS

Abstract

This study aims to develop and find the efficiency of problem-based learning according to the efficiency criterion of 75/75, to compare the learning achievement by problem-based learning before and after implementation, to compare the learning achievement after learning compared to the 75 percent criterion, and to study the satisfaction of the problem-based learning activity on the solar system and lunar phenomena of Pathomsuksa 4 students. The sample consisted of 13 people in the 2022 academic year, who were students at Ban Nam Phu Pang Wua School. The instruments included an activity set suitability assessment form, activity set, lesson plan, learning achievement test with 4 choices and 20 items, and satisfaction measurement form. Data were analyzed by statistics, including mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t-test. The findings revealed that the development was appropriate at the highest level and the efficiency of the problem-based learning activity on the solar system and lunar phenomena of Pathomsuksa 4 students had an efficiency of 75.56/77.69, which is higher than the criterion. The learning achievement of students with the problem-based learning activity on the solar system and lunar phenomena of Pathomsuksa 4 students after studying was higher than before studying at a statistical significance of .05. The learning achievement after learning had a mean score of 16.15 out of 20 points, which was following the set criterion of 75 percent. Moreover, the students were satisfied with the learning management using the problem-based learning activity on the solar system and lunar phenomena of Pathomsuksa 4 students at the highest level.
