The Effects of Learning Activity on the Topic of Surface Area and Volume Using 5E Instructional Model on Mathematics Skills Process Ability of Ninth Grade Students

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to compare the students’ mathematics skills process ability before and after using 5E instructional model, to compare the students’ mathematics skills process ability after using 5E instructional model and conventional approach and to study students’ satisfaction with 5E instructional model. The sample for the study consisted of 45 ninth grade students of two classrooms attending Sriyapai School during the second semester of 2015 academic year. The instruments used in the study included 5E instructional plans with 5 steps, step 1: Engagement , step 2: Exploration , step 3: Explanation , step 4: Elaboration step 5: Evaluation , conventional approach plans, a mathematics skills process ability test on the problem solving , the reasoning , the mathematical communication and presentation , the linking mathematics with other fields , the creativity with objective test and subjective test , 30 items, the degree of difficulty from 0.27 to 0.50, the degree of discrimination from 0.50 to 1.00 and the reliability of objective test and subjective test at 0.87 and 0.90 respectively and a questionnaire probing students’ satisfaction with 5E instructional model on rating scale of 5 levels ,10 items , the reliability at 0.71. The statistics used for data analysis were mean, standard deviation and t - test. 101

The findings of the study effects of learning activity that after using 5E instructional model, the students show a higher level of mathematics skills process ability before and after using 5E instructional model at the 0.05 significant difference, students show a higher level of mathematics skill process ability after using 5E instructional model and conventional approach at the 0.05 significant difference. The overall, the students’ mathematics skills process ability was at the very high level and when considering each aspect, the problem solving process ability of students was at the very high level, the reasoning process ability of students was at a high level, the mathematical communication and presentation process ability of students was a very high level, the linking mathematics with other fields process ability of students was at the very high level and the creativity of students was at a high level and the students show the very high level of satisfaction with 5E instructional model.
