THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PHYSICS INSTRUCTIONAL PACKAGE BY USING 7E LEARNING CYCLE MODEL FOR MATHAYOMSUKSA 6 STUDENTS

Abstract

            The objectives of this research article were 1) to compare learning achievement before and after using the developed instructional package 2) to compare analytical thinking before and after using the developed instructional package 3) to compare learning achievement between experimental group and control group 4) to compare analytical thinking between experimental group and control group and 5) to examine attitude towards physics learning. The research is quasi - experimental designs. The sample of this study is two classrooms of Mathayomsuksa 6 students from Surat Thani school, Mueng district, Surat Thai province. Each classroom consists of 34 students, 68 students in total. The sample was selected by using the cluster random sampling method. The data collecting tools include 1) instructional package of the physics by using 7E learning cycle model 2) instructional plan corresponded to instructional package 3) learning achievement test 4) analytical thinking test and 5) attitude test.The collected data were analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t - test.The results were as follows: 1) There were higher learning achievement scores of posttests than pretests at the statistically significant .01 level. 2) The scores of analytical thinking of posttests were higher than pretests at the statistically significant .01 level. 3) The achievement outcome of the experimental group had higher posttest scores than the control group at the statistically significant .05 level. 4) There were higher learning achievement scores of the experimental group than the control group at the statistically significant .05 level. 5) The majority of the attitude level presents the highest rank.
