Abstract

This action research aim 1) to develop the scientific concept by using model-observe-reflect-explain learning method cooperated with augmented reality of student passing the criteria of partial understanding 2) to study the students’ scientific concepts after using model-observe-reflect-explain learning method cooperated with augmented reality. The target contained of 19 students of Mattayomsuksa 4 who were considered as limited in scientific concept of Kalasin Pittayasan School. The purposive sampling was used to select the target group. The action research consisted of 3 cycles. The instruments employed in study were (1) lesson plan, (2) the scientific conceptual test, (3) interview form, and (4) observation form. The study findings indicated that there were 15 students or 93.75 percent in passing the criteria of partial understanding. When considering each cycle, it was found as follows:

               The first cycle, there were 9 students (52.25 percent) in passing the criteria of target group, and the majority of the students had a partial understanding (PU).

              The second cycle, there were 14 students (87.50 percent) in passing the criteria of target group, and the majority of the students had a sound understanding (SU).

              The third cycle, there were 15 students (93.75 percent) in passing the criteria of target group, and the majority of the students had a partial understanding (PU).
