The development of Factoring Second Degree Polynomial Skills by Using Cooperative learning with Math League technique for Grade 8 Students

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to develop factoring second-degree polynomial skills by using cooperative learning with Math League technique to achieve the scores of 70 % over of the full scores and the number of students who passed the criteria over 70 % of students, and 2) to study the satisfaction of students towards cooperative learning with Math League technique. The sample group was eighth-grade students in Ban Non-Thiang school. The 13 students were selected through purposive sampling during the second semester of the 2019 academic year. The instruments were 1) nine learning activity lesson plans, 2) factoring second-degree polynomial skills test consisted of 20 multiple choices for evaluating effectiveness, and 3) a questionnaire. The statistics used in data analysis were percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The results of the research were as follows:

           1) The average score of factoring second-degree polynomial skills using cooperative learning with the Math League technique was at 78.46% of the total scores. The number of students who pass was 84.62% of all.

           2) The students had the satisfaction of factoring second-degree polynomial skills using cooperative learning with the Math League technique at the highest level.
