THE EFFECTS OF A PROGRAM INTEGRATING GOAL SETTING INTO INQUIRY TEACHING METHOD ON ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION AND ACHIEVEMENT IN SCIENCE SUBJECT OF MATHAYOM SUKSA 2 NAWAMINTHRACHINUTHIT BODINDECHA SCHOOL (BODIN 3)

Abstract

The purposes of this research were: 1) to develop a program Integrating Goal Setting into Inquiry Teaching Method in Science Subject of Mathayom Suksa 2. 2) to compare achievement motivation in science subject of the experimental group before and after the experiment. 3) to compare achievement motivation in science subject between the control and experimental groups after the experiment.4) to compare achievement in science subject between the control and experimental groups after the experiment. 5) to compare achievement motivation in science of the control group before and after the experiment. The samples consisted of 50 students whose achievement in science and achievement motivation in science were low, in second semester, the academic year 2013 of Mathayomsuksa 2, Nawaminthrachinuthit Bodindecha school. The sample was randomly assigned, 25 students in each group, to form the control and experimental groups. The experimental group was taught by the program Integrating Goal Settings into Inquiry Teaching Method. The control group studied in the regular science class. Data were, collected by using achievement in science and achievement motivation in science tests, analyzed by t-test at the 0.05 level of statistical significance. The results indicated that: 1) there were significant differences of achievement motivation in science subject of the experimental group before and after the experiment. 2) there were significant differences of achievement motivation in science subject between the control and experimental groups after the experiment. 3) there were significant differences of achievement in science subject between the control and experimental groups after the experiment. 4) there were significant differences of achievement motivation in science subject of the control group before and after the experiment.
