Development of Python Programming Skills with Project-Based Learning Management for Grade 7 Students

Abstract

Background and Objectives: The use of project-based learning in teaching science will enable students to use the inquiry process. Students will use higher-order thinking skills that are more complex. It can create motivation for students to search for information, learn, and work. Research

Methodology: This research aimed to 1) develop Python language skills by organizing project-based learning for Mathayom 1 students with efficiency according to the criteria of 70/70, 2) study Python language skills by organizing project-based learning, and 3) study satisfaction with the development of Python language skills by organizing project-based learning. The target group was Mathayom 1 students at Rongkham Wittayanukul School, Roi Et Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, totaling 12 people. The research instruments were project-based learning plans, a Python language skills test, and satisfaction questionnaires. The statistics used in the research were mean, standard deviation (S.D.), percentage, and hypothesis testing using the t-test (one-sample t-test).

Results: 1) Project-based learning management for developing Python language skills was effective (E1/E2) at 77.01/75.83. 2) The average Python language skills of students who studied with project-based learning management were 75.83 percent. 3) Students were satisfied with the development of Python language skills with project-based learning management at the highest level.

Conclusion: Project-based learning management for developing Python language skills where teachers paid attention to every step from planning, preparing, and organizing the learning, being a facilitator who gave close and thorough advice during organizing the learning activities, and appropriate measurement and evaluation, allowed students to play a role in the work, know how to find information, solve problems, and have creativity. This can be applied to designing various programs.
