A Study Of Learning Achievement On Fun with Electricity Learning Unit and Scientific Process Skills Of Grade 6 Students Using 7E Learning Cycle with Predict-Observe-Explain Techniques

Abstract

Background and Aims: Learning management using the 7E learning cycle and predict-observe-explain techniques is learning management to develop learning achievement and scientific process skills to a higher level, which uses the 7E learning cycle to enhance students' ability to seek knowledge by themselves and connect their previous knowledge with new knowledge. Using the predict-observe-explain technique lets the students observe and predict what will happen by using reason, and then explain and compare the similarities or differences between the prediction and observation. The purposes of this study were to 1) compare learning achievement before and after learning using the 7E learning cycle with predict-observe-explain techniques. 2) Compare learning achievement after learning using the 7E learning cycle with predict-observe-explain techniques, with a criterion of 70 percent. and 3) compare scientific process skills before and after learning using the 7E learning cycle with predict-observe-explain techniques.

Methodology: The sample group of this study was 17 students of grade 6 in the first academic year of 2024 at Bannoonsansuk School, Nadi district, Prachinburi province. The sample was selected using cluster random sampling. The research instruments were 1) lesson plans 4 lessons with a total of 12 hours, with accuracy between 0.67-1.00. 2) achievement test, the difficulty value is between 0.50-0.72 the discriminatory power value is between 0.56-1.00 and the confidence value is equal to 0.91. and 3) scientific skills test, the difficulty value is between 0.44-0.69, the discriminatory power value is between 0.63-1.00, and the confidence value is equal to 0.95.
Results: The findings of this research were as follows: 1) The learning achievement after was significantly higher than before learning at the .05 level. 2) The learning achievement after was significantly higher than the 70% criterion at the .05 level. 3) The scientific skills after were significantly higher than before learning at the .05 level.

Conclusion: The 7E learning cycle with predict-observe-explain techniques effectively increases the learning achievement of the sample students. The students allowed pupils to explore knowledge on their own to achieve higher learning achievement and scientific process skills.
