The Development of Learning Mathematics Achievement by Using Collaborative Learning Methods of Math League Techniques with Grade 6 Students

Abstract

Background and Aims: Mathematics learning management. Teachers must organize learning activities that are connected to students' daily lives. To develop students' 21^st century skills and mathematical process skills in all aspects. This research was conducted with the purpose: (1) To compare mathematical achievement before and after cooperative learning using the Math League technique for learning management of Grade 6 students. (2) To compare learning mathematical achievement after cooperative learning using the Math League technique learning management of Grade 6 students with the 70% criterion. And (3) To study the satisfaction of Grade 6 students with cooperative learning using the Math League technique of learning management.

Methodology: The sample group was students of Grade 6/1 at Ramkhamhaeng University Demonstration School (Elementary Level), first semester, academic year 2024 of 35 students, obtained by Cluster random sampling. The instruments of research are a Collaborative learning plan using Math League techniques, a test of academic achievement, and an evaluation form used to measure the degree of satisfaction with cooperative learning using the Math League technique. Data were analyzed using mean (\overline{x} ), standard deviation (S.D.), and dependent t-test techniques were also used by the instructor.

Results: (1) Learning achievement of the Grade 6 students after learning by cooperative learning using the Math League technique learning management was higher than before learning and significant at the .05 level. (2) Learning achievement of the Grade 6 students after learning by cooperative learning using the Math League technique learning management was higher than 70%, a criterion and significant at the .05 level. And (3) The students were satisfied with the learning management by cooperative learning using the Math League technique, which was used at the highest level. ( \overline{x} = 4.60).

Conclusion: This research shows that Organizing cooperative learning using the Math League technique results in higher student achievement in mathematics. And students were at the highest level of satisfaction with cooperative learning using the Math League technique.
