THE EFFECTS OF MATHEMATICS LEARNING MANAGEMENT ON DECIMAL PROBLEMS OF 5TH GRADE STUDENTS USING STAD COOPERATIVE LEARNING

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to compare before and after of the mathematics learning achievements on decimal problems of the 5th Primary School students through using the STAD cooperative learning technique, 2) to study the development of mathematics learning on decimal problems the 5th grade Primary School students learning by using the STAD cooperative learning technique, and 3) to study the satisfaction of the students for the STAD cooperative learning technique. The target group used in this research were 18 students from 5th grade, Thepparat School, Chainat Primary Educational Service Area Office, in the academic year 2022, also various learning abilities. The instruments used in this research were lesson plans using the STAD cooperative learning technique on decimal problems for 5th grade students, Mathematics Achievement Test and a questionnaire on students’ satisfaction for the learning using the STAD cooperative learning technique. The statistics used for analyzing data were Mean, Standard Deviation, Dependent samples t-test and effectiveness index.
The results of this research were as follows:
1. Mathematics learning achievement on decimal problems of the 5th grade primary school students using the STAD cooperative learning technique revealed that the after learning results were higher than the before which statistically significant at the .05 statistical level.
2. The development of mathematics learning on decimal problems of the 5th grade students who were taught by using the STAD cooperative learning technique had an effectiveness index equal to 0.58, indicating that students had improved by 0.58 or equivalent to 58%.
3. The students in the 5th grade satisfied with the STAD cooperative learning technique at the highest level of satisfaction (M = 4.73, S.D. = 0.39).
