Effects of Using Practice Packages on Promoting Grade 6 Students’ Ability in Conducting Science Projects Developed from Local Sources on Energy

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) construct practical package and develop it efficiency through criteria 75/75, 2) compare students’ learning achievement between after and before they learning with this package 3) study students’ ability in conducting science project, 4) study students’ satisfaction towards this practical package, and 5)study desirable characteristics of students based on their parent opinion. Eighteen students of Prathomsuksa6,Moobansahakorn2 School, MaeonDistrict, Chiangmai were used in this research which it instruments were practical package, teachingplan, learning achievement test, the ability assessment form, satisfaction assessment form and desirable characteristics assessment form. The data were analyzed by using frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation.

The research findings were as follows:

1) The efficiency of practical package was 81.56/83.33. 2) Learning achievement of students after learning were higher than that before learning which mean scores of before and after learning were 8.72 points, and 24.00 points respectively. The effectiveness index was equal to 0.7180 or 71.80 percentage of developmental score.  3) Students’ ability in conducting science project was in the excellent level. 4) Students’ satisfaction towards this practical package was in the highest level. 5) Desirable characteristics of students based on their parent opinion on the aspects of leaning and working attention were in the high level.
