EFFECT OF GEOGRAPHY LEARNING ACTIVITIES USING SCENARIO-BASED LEARNING ENHANCING MAP CREATION SKILLS AND SPATIAL THINKING SKILLS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

     This research article describes with two objectives. (1) to develop a geography learning activities using scenario-based learning enhancing map creation skills and spatial thinking skills for high school students; and (2) to investigate the effectiveness of this activity in geography learning activities using scenario-based learning enhancing map creation skills and spatial thinking skills for high school students. The research sample 35 students from Wat Raja O Ros school. The research instruments were in the study was a geography learning activities using scenario-based learning management activity, The objective and subject test of mapping creation skills assessment with both multiple-choice and essay questions, and the research instrument was a content validity of 0.67-1.00, using Pearson correlation 0.35-0.85 and the reliability was 0.885. Data analysis was mean, standard deflection, and one-way repeated measures MANOVA. 
     The result of the were as follow: (1) there were 3 steps to the geography learning activities using scenario-based learning as follows: 1) Problem formulation step; 2) Scene or situation; and 3) Stage of reflection on learning outcomes. 2) Student who learned through a geography learning activities using scenario-based learning enhancing map creation skills and spatial thinking skills for high school students, had a higher score than previous use, and then variance analysis repeated measures analysis of variance that the revealed of mapping creation skills and spatial thinking skills was increase when comparing learning management with repeated measures 6 times, statistical significance was .05 (F (5,30) = 52.967, p < .001)
