Development of Active Learning Activities on Electricity to Promote Science Ability for Mathayomsuksa 3 Students

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) develop an active learning activity on electricity for Mathayom 3 students to be effective according to the criteria of 80/80, 2) compare the achievement in science of Mathayomsuksa 3 students after learning with active learning activities with the criteria of 80 percent, 3) study the science ability of Mathayomsuksa 3 students, and 4) study the satisfaction of Mathayomsuksa 3 students towards active learning activities. The sample consisted of 28 Mathayomsuksa 3 students of Khao Phra Non Wittayakhom School, second semester of the academic year 2023, Kalasin Secondary Educational Service Area Office, obtained by cluster random sampling using the school as the sampling unit. The research instruments consisted of 1) 6 active learning activity plans, totaling 12 hours, with a high suitability value 2) 20-item 4-choice multiple-choice achievement test with a difficulty level between 0.50 - 0.75, a discrimination power between 0.20 - 0.80, and a reliability value of 0.83 3) The students' science ability behavior observation form had a congruence index of 0.60-1.00, and a satisfaction questionnaire had a congruence index of 0.60-1.00. The statistics used were mean, percentage, and standard deviation. And tested the hypothesis with One Samples t-test.

            The results of the research found that 1) the active learning activities on electricity for Mathayomsuksa 3 students were effective at 88.24/83.95, which was higher than the specified criteria. 2) The students' science learning achievement after learning had an average of 16.79, which was higher than the 80 percent criterion with statistical significance at the .01 level.3) The students' overall science ability had an average score of 48.29, accounting for 89.42 percent, and 4) The students' satisfaction with the active learning activities was at the highest level
