The Enhancement of Academic Achievement in Solving Multiplication and Division Word Problems through the SQRQCQ Method and Cooperative Learning with TAI for Grade 2 Students

Abstract

          The purposes of this research article were: 1) to develop learning achievement in solving multiplication and division word problems using the SQRQCQ strategy combined with students; and (2) to investigate students’ satisfaction toward learning management on solving multiplication and division word problems using the SQRQCQ strategy combined with the TAI technique. This study employed an experimental research design. The sample consisted of 31 Grade 2/1 students from Ban Nai Mueang School, selected through cluster random sampling, with the classroom serving as the sampling unit. The research instruments included lesson plans, a learning achievement test, and a student satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, percentage, and t-test statistics.

           The research results were as follows: (1) students’ learning achievement in solving multiplication and division word problems after learning through the SQRQCQ strategy combined with the TAI technique was significantly higher than 75 percent at the .05 level of significance; and (2) students’ overall satisfaction with learning management using the SQRQCQ strategy combined with the TAI technique was at a high level.
