Development of the Active Learning Model to Enhance the Analytical Thinking Capability and Achievement in Learning Morality, Ethics and Code of Ethics for Teachers Course of Primary Education Program Student in Northern College

Abstract

This research objectives were: 1) to study the guidelines of creating a model of active learning to enhance analytical thinking capability and learning achievement of students in learning the course of morality, ethics, and code of ethics for teachers; 2) to create and verify the quality of the active learning model; and 3) to compare analytical thinking capability, and achievement of students in learning the course of morality, ethics, and code of ethics for teachers. The samples were 60 bachelor’s degree program students in elementary education of Northern college in academic year of 2022, which randomized through cluster sampling.  The instruments were learning management plan, analytical thinking capabilities test, the learning achievement test of the course of morality, ethics, code of ethics. The data were analyzed by using mean, standard deviation, t-test (dependent samples).

              The results were: 1) the model of learning management consists of 6 steps: 1.1 attendance stimulation, 1.2 data searching, 1.3 data recall, 1.4 practice, 1.5 interpret and results; and 1.6 evaluate; 2) the result of propriety verification of model quality was at the highest level; 3) students capabilities of analytical thinking after learning were higher than before learning, and higher than the 70 percent of determined criteria with statistically significant at .01 level.  The students learning achievement after learning the course of morality, ethics, and code of ethics were higher than before learning with statistically significant at .01 level.
