Abstract

The objectives of this research were, 1) to develop a set of learning activities to promote analytical thinking skills to using the 4MAT learning model combined with graphical mapping techniques on Economics to have an efficiency value and effectiveness index according to the criteria of 80/80 and 0.50 or higher, 2) to compare the learning achievement of students Economics between pretest and posttest, and 3) to develop students' analytical thinking skills by using the learning activities. Using a single group experimental research design with pre - and post - tests. This research is a population - based study of population were 30 grade 7 students of Ban Kurod School in academic year 2023. The tools used to collect data include learning activity sets and 6 learning management plans, a 30 - items learning achievement test, a 5 - items analytical thinking skills test and the data were analyzed using basic statistics, including finding percentages, means, and standard deviations. The results of the research found that 1) 4MAT learning activity set combined with graphical mapping techniques had efficiency values (E₁/E₂) were 83.06/80.44, the effectiveness index (E.I.) was 0.71, which were higher than the specified criteriaes, 2) leaning achievement posttest average of 24.13 was higher than pretest average of 9.83, and 3) analytical thinking skills after using the 4MAT learning activities combined with graphical mapping techniques have averages of 2.80-2.93 with a quality high level.
