The development of activities using Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in the production of goods services and consumer protection of Mathayomsuksa 2 Students

Abstract

The aims of this study were to (1) develop problem-based learning activities on the production of goods, services and consumer protection of Mathayomsuksa 2 students to be effective according to the 80/80 criterion, (2) compare the learning achievements between learning by the problem-based learning activities and learning by normal methods, (3) compare the problem-solving abilities between learning by the problem-based learning activities and learning by normal method, and (4) study the students' satisfaction toward the problem-based learning activities. The sample group consisted of Mathayomsuksa 2 students, Rong Kham School. The research instruments are as follows: 1) 10 problem-based learning activities plans, 2) A 30-item multiple-choice learning 3) The questionnaire measures problem-solving ability towards the problem-based learning management and 4) A 15-item questionnaire on student satisfaction with problem-based learning management. The data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation, and independent t-test.

The results were as follows; (1) The efficiency of problem-based learning activities was 81.27/82.66. (2) The learning achievement of learning activities was higher than the normal method at statistical significance at the .05 level. (3) The problem-solving ability after learning of Mathayomsuksa 2 students who learned by problem-based learning activities was higher than normal method at statistical significance at the .05 level, and (4) The student's satisfaction towards the problem-based learning activities was at a high level.
