The Development of Mathematics Learning Packages through Inquiry Method on the Ratios of Trigonometry for Mathayom Suksa 4 students

Abstract

The purpose of this research were 1) to develop mathematics learning packages through inquiry method on the ratio of trigonometry, 2) to compare the achievement between the experimental group and the control group, and 3) to compare attitude between the experimental group and the control group. The samples used in the research were 100 of Matthayom Suksa 4 students of Thungthoengying Wuttana School. The research instruments were 1) 12 learning plans on the ratio of trigonometry for Matthayom Suksa 4 students, 2) the mathematics learning packages through the inquiry method on the ratio of trigonometry, 3) the learning achievement test, and 4) attitude evaluation on mathematics. Statistics used in the research were percentage, mean, standard deviation, Two Way ANOVA and t-test for Independent Samples.

            The research findings were as follows:

1. The mathematics learning packages through the inquiry method on the ratio of trigonometry for Matthayom Suksa 4 students was equalvalent to 84.30/81.50.
2. The students who were learned by using the mathematics learned packages through the inquiry method had a higher learning achievement than those using a conventional teaching method at statistical significance of .01.
3. The students who were learned by using the mathematics learning packages through the inquiry method had a more positive attitude towards mathematics learning than that of those using a conventional teaching method at a statistical significance of .01.
