Effects of Physical Education Learning Management Using Active Learning on Learning Achievement and Problem Solving Abilities of Eighth Grade Students

Abstract

The purpose of this study were 1) to compare the average scores of learning achievements and problem solving ability before and after the experiment of students in experiment group who received the Active Learning in physical education management program and the control group who received the normal physical education instruction program. 2) to compare the average scores of learning achievement and problem solving ability of students in the experimental group and the control group after finish the program. The participants were 68 students in Matthayom 2. Students were be Simple Random Sampling. The participants were divided into 2 groups. There are 34 students in experimental group and 34 students in control group. The experiment was conducted for 8 weeks, 1 day per week, 60 minutes per day. The research instruments are 1) the active learning lesson plan, there were 8 lesson plans with the IOC equal to 0.90 2) physical education achievement measurement with the IOC equal to 0.96 3) problem solving ability measurement with the IOC equal to 1.00 The data was analyzed by Means, Standard Deviations and t-test.                                                                                              The result of the research shows that : 1) the average scores of learning achievement and problem solving ability after the experiment of experimental group was higher than before the experiment at the significance level of .05 2) the average scores of learning achievement and problem solving ability after the experiment of experimental group was higher than the control group at the significance level of .05 Conclusion : Physical education learning management with using active learning concepts could improve learning achievement and problem solving ability of Matthayom 2 students.
