An Action Reserch on Development of learning Achievement in Valleyball Course by using STAD Cooperative Learning Method for Prathom Suksa 6 Students in Bannonglai (Putpermwattanarat) School under Ubon Ratchathani Primary Educational Service Area Office 1

Abstract

The purposes of this research were (1) to investigate the development of learning achievement in a Valleyball course using the STAD Cooperative Learning Method, and (2) to compare the student’s learning achievement with the good standard learning achievement, and (3) to evaluate the students’ satisfaction toward this teaching method.  The target group were 30 Prathom Suksa 6 students at Bannonglai (Putpermwattanarat) School, Ubon Ratchathani Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, in academic year 2015 purposively selected.  The instruments were learning packages, an achievement test, observation forms, and the evaluation form on students’ satisfaction. The statistics for data analysis were percentage, population average, stanadrd deviation and the percentage of the students’ developmental scores.  

The research findings were as follows:

1. The development of students’ learning achievement was done repeatedly for 12 cycles consisting 4 stages: (1) planning, (2) implementing, (3) observation, and (4) feedback. The quantitative analysis on developmental scores was performed. The positive feedback was developed and the negative feedback was improved in the subsequent cycle.  At the end of the development, the learning achievement in the cycles 1-8 was at a good level, and the cycles 9-12 was at a very good 
2. The comparison of learning achievement after the implementation showed that
   30 students passed the standard criterion at a good level (70%).
3. The evaluation of the students’ satisfaction towards the STAD cooperative learning methods showed that their satisfaction was at the highest level (4.53).
