The Effect of Developing Scientific Communication Skills on Substances Around Us of Grade 6 Students Using the Inquiry-Based Learning Activity Model with Cooperative Learning Using STAD Techniques

Abstract

This research was experimental research. The objectives of this research were 1) develop a learning management plan on substances around us for grade 6 students using the inquiry-based learning activity model with cooperative learning using STAD techniques. 2) develop scientific communication skills on substances around us for grade 6 students by using the inquiry-based learning activity model with cooperative learning using STAD techniques and 3) study the satisfaction of grade 6 students towards the inquiry-based learning activity model with cooperative learning using STAD techniques. The sample group used in the study was 71 students in Grade 6, Semester 2, Academic Year 2024, Demonstration School of Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya Rajabhat University (Primary Section) by purposive selection. The research tools consisted of 1) a lesson plan based on inquiry-based learning activity model with cooperative learning using STAD techniques., 2) scientific communication skills test and 3) a satisfaction of students towards inquiry-based learning activity model with cooperative learning using STAD techniques. The statistics used in data analysis were mean, percentage, standard deviation and relative score increase. The results of the research found that 1) a learning management plan on substances around us for grade 6 students using the inquiry-based learning activity model with cooperative learning using STAD techniques had an IOC value of 0.98 2) students had scientific communication skills. Overall, it is at a high level. with a total mean of 4.45, accounting for 89.05 percent, standard deviation of 0.55, and a relative increase in score of 92.54 and 3) students’ satisfaction towards inquiry-based learning activity model with cooperative learning using STAD techniques. Overall, was the most satisfactory with a mean of 4.80 and a standard deviation of 0.40.
