Development Problem-Solving Ability by Using Problem-Based Learning Activities Blended with Mind Mapping Technique for Grade 4 Students

Abstract

This research had purpose to develop problem-solving abilities by using problem-based learning activities blended with mind mapping techniques of grade 4 students. The target group used in this research was the grade 4 students. The target group included 25 students at Sahamitr Pittaya School in the 2nd semester of the academic year 2020. The research instruments were learning management plan using problem-based learning activity blended with mind mapping technique, The problem-solving ability plan, behavioral observation form and reflective assessment form for learning management outcomes. Research results consisted of 3 operating cycles. The statistics used in the data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and percentage. The results of the research found that.

              Cycle 1, the students scored 70% of the problem solving ability through the specified criteria for 5 students, representing 20 percent of the total number of students. And there were 20 students who did not pass the criteria of the total number of students. It was found that the researcher will focus on students to participate in answering questions conceptualization There were discussions of various issues together. Classes were organized in groups. Students practice their ability to solve problems on their own and work with others. to understand problems from various situations in daily life.

              Cycle 2, students had the ability to solve problems through the threshold of 70 percent of
20 people representing 80 percent of the total number of students. And there were 5 students who did not pass the criteria of the total number of students. It was found that the teachers gave importance to creating an atmosphere, encouraging, giving advice and giving students the opportunity to think and not feel pressured.

              Cycle 3, 25 students achieved a score of problem solving ability through the specified criteria of 70 percent, representing 100 percent of the total number of students. And when separating the results of the assessment of problem solving abilities by each aspect, it was found that 93.33 percent of students passed the criteria on the ability to identify problems, 93.33 percent of the students who passed the criteria in analyzing problems. The proposed solution had 86.67 percent of students passing the criteria and the ability to verify results. There were 94.67 percent of students who passed the criteria found that they had skills in working together. have a good relationship with oneself and others in the presentation skills of associative order Summarize the body of knowledge yourself to reflect learning from experiences or situations.
