A Comparative study of Learning Achievement, Thinking Skill by STEM Education and Learning Retention by Using The Learning package by STEM Education with Game-based Learning and Inquiry-based Learning for Mattayomsuksa one students

Abstract

This research aimed to study for 1) to develop the learning package by STEM Education.
2) to study students' achievement in science subject. 3) To Study students' thinking skill by STEM Education 4) to Study the learning durability of students. The sample group were selected from 57 students from 2 classrooms of Mattayomsuksa one students of Thepmongkhonrangsi school. The Secondary Educational Service Area Office Kanchanaburi, second semester, Academic Year 2021 using  cluster random sampling using the classroom as the unit of choice. The research instruments were a set of learning activities based on STEM education, lesson plan, achievement test and the STEM Thinking Skills Assessment Form. The statistics used were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test with a statistical significance of .05.

The findings:

1. The results of the development and efficacy of the learning package by STEM Education index 82.08/86.33.


2. Results of the study of achievement in science subjects of the students’ achievement in science subject that use learning management with the learning package by STEM education with game-based learning were significantly higher than the students’ achievement in science subject that use learning management with Inquiry-based Learning at .05 level, and the students' posttest achievement in science subject that use learning management with the learning package by STEM education were significantly higher than pretest achievement at .01 level.


3. The results of the students’ thinking skill by STEM education that use learning management with the learning package by STEM education with game-based learning and inquiry-based Learning were significantly at .01 level. The students’ thinking skill by STEM education that use learning management for students in Mattayomsuksa one before and after learning management were statistically significant difference at .01 level.

4. The results of the assessment of learning durability found that the students’ achievement in science subject after managing learning with the learning package by STEM education for students in Mattayomsuksa one with game-based learning and the learning retentio, were no difference.
