THE DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL LITERACY FOR MATTHAYOMSUKSA 5 STUDENTS IN GRAPH THEORY SECTION USING CONTEXT-BASED LEARNING

Abstract

          This thesis is the action research. The objection is to improve the mathematical literacy based on the context based learning activities for Matthayomsuksa 5 students. The criteria is satisfying over 60 percents. The target group is 11 students from Matthayomsuksa 5/5, Borabu School in second semester of 2562, is selected by applying the Purposive Sampling technique.  The methodology are that we apply 5 plans of the context based learning combining with the KWDL technique, 2 sets of the evaluation in mathematical learning, the observation form in mathematical literacy and the interview form. We apply the mean, percent and standard deviation for analyzing data. The results found that the mathematical literacy in the introduction to graph theory subject of students after learning with our technique, we notice that our method improve mathematical skills of students as the following results. Before applying our method, in the first spiral, we obtain their evaluation score is 14.64 by mean or 58.55%. Afterward, we apply our method to second spiral, we obtain their average score is 18.64 or 74.55% that over 60% satisfying our criteria. In addition, in the sense of mathematical learning skills of students are improving and also satisfying the criteria. Finally, we found that the mathematical literacy for each group is improving in a better way.
