Development of Learning and Innovation Skills of Mathayomsuksa 5 Students on the Structure and Growth of Flower Plants by Using STEM Education Integrated with School Botanical Garden Task
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to 1) construct lesson plans based on STEM education integrated with school botanical garden task on the structure and growth of flower plants to meet the criteria efficiency of 80/80, 2) compare students’ learning and innovation skills before and after the intervention, 3) compare students’ learning achievement before and after the intervention, and 4) examine the satisfaction of students toward the STEAM education combined with school botanical garden task. The sample, obtained through cluster random sampling, consisted of 31 students from Mathayomsuksa 5/4 at Renunakhonwittayanukul School, in the second semester of the academic year 2022. The instruments included 1) constructed lesson plans based on STEAM education integrated with school botanical garden task, 2) learning and innovation skills test, 3) a learning achievement test, and 4) a satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics used for data collection were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent samples.
The results were as follows: 1) the efficiency of the lesson plans STEAM education integrated with school botanical garden task on the structure and growth of flower plants resulted 82.80/81.50, which was satisfied the criterion efficiency, 2) the learning and innovation skills of the students after the intervention was higher than that of before at a statistical 0.1 level significance of, 3) the learning achievement of students after the intervention was higher than that of before at a statistical 0.1 level significance of, and 4) the satisfaction of the students toward the STEM education integrated with school botanical garden task was at the highest level ( = 4.73).
