The Development of Observation and Classification Skills Using Cooperative Learning by Jigsaw Technique with 5E Learning Management of Primary 1 (Grade 1) Students

Abstract

          The purposes of this research were 1) to compare students' observation and classification skills before and after learning through cooperative learning by the Jigsaw technique with 5E learning management, and 2) to study students' satisfaction level after learning through cooperative learning by the Jigsaw technique with 5E learning management. The sample consisted of 25 primary 1 (grade 1) students at the Demonstration School of Phetchaburi Rajabhat University who were studying in the second semester of the 2024 academic year, selected by cluster random sampling. The research instruments included 1) science learning management plans using cooperative learning by the Jigsaw technique with 5E learning management, 2) an assessment of observation and classification skills, and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire on cooperative learning by the Jigsaw technique with 5E learning management. The experimental research data were analyzed using mean ( ), standard deviation (S.D.), and dependent t-test. The research findings showed that 1) students' observation and classification skills after learning through cooperative learning by Jigsaw technique with 5E learning management were significantly higher than before learning at the .05 level, and 2) students' overall satisfaction with cooperative learning by Jigsaw technique with 5E learning management was at a high level.
