A Development of Learning Achievement by using 7E Instructional Process Inquiry Cycle in Physical of Mathayom Suksa Four Student of Simuang Witthayakhan School of The Secondary Educational Service Area Office 29

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to increase the learning achievement in physical study concerning Force , Mass and Laws of Motion by using 7E Instructional Process Inquiry Cycle of Mathayom Suksa Four Student  2) to compare the learning achievement for pretest and posttest and  3) to compare the learning achievement between using 7E Instructional Process Inquiry Cycle and normal learning method. The sample consisted of 80 student from two classes, Fourty students from class 4/3 were used as the experimental group whereas Fourty students from class 4/4 were the control group of Simuang Witthayakhan School of The Secondary Educational Service Area Office 29. The subjects enrolled in semester 2 of academic year 2011 (B.E.2554). They were selected by cluster sampling. The research instrument were divided into two :1)The experimental instrument was 9 lesson plans by using 7E Instructional Process Inquiry Cycle and 9 lesson plans by normal learning method. 2) the instruments used to gather data were (1) quizzes (2) the records of the teaching behaviors (3) the records of the learning behaviors (4) the interview form (5) teacher’s diary and (6) achievement test on Force , Mass and Laws of Motion. Statistics used in the research were percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-test.

The research findings were as follows:

1. In terms of the growth of learning achievement in physical study concerning Force, Mass and Laws of Motion by using 7E Instructional Process Inquiry Cycle containing 7 steps of teaching : 1) Extension 2) Engagement 3) Exploration 4) Explanation 5) Elaboration 6) Evaluation 7) Extension. And by using normal learning method containing 3 steps of teaching : 1) orientation 2) teach 3) In appeared that by using 7E Instructional Process Inquiry Cycle were encourage students to attention and excited for study. To created knowledge and extension for everyday life. Form the interview in appeared that student was interest extension .In was found that by using 7E Instructional Process Inquiry Cycle can development of learning achievement better before researching.
2. To compare the learning achievement for pretest and posttest in physical study concerning Force, Mass and Laws of Motion of Mathayom Suksa Four Student by using achievement test in appeared that of the student through this teaching method was 82.50 percent. They passed the achievement test with 50 percent. The difference of the pre-post tests was statistically found significant at .05 level.
3. To compare the learning achievement in physical study concerning Force, Mass and Laws of Motion between using 7E Instructional Process Inquiry Cycle and normal learning method of Mathayom Suksa Four Student through this teaching method was 82.50 percent. They passed the achievement test with 50 percent had a higher learning normal learning method was was 55.00 percent. They passed the achievement test with 50 percent. The difference of the pre-post tests was statistically found significant at .05 level.
