Abstract

This research study was a development of a mind-mapping learning activity, supplemented with a peer-to-peer technique. The developed activity was for a course called quantitative analysis for effective business decision, while the development goal was to achieve a ratio (E1/E2) of 80/80 for the developed activity. In addition, the study included determining the learning activity’s effectiveness index and surveying the students’ attitude towards the arrangement of teaching and learning of this course. The sample group was 18 3rd-year   students at Songklanagarinda University, Pattani Campus, purposedly selected from a population of 32. The determination of learning achievement was based on a one-group, pre-test, post-test experimental design, statistically analyzed with a paired-sample T Test. The results of this study were found as follows: The outcomes of the first objective were the following: E1 was 81.63, higher than the standard criterion of 80; E2 was 82.24, also higher than the standard criterion; the average student post-test score of 30.21 (S.D.=4.70) was significantly higher than the pre-test score of 23.93 (S.D.=6.25). The outcome of the second objective was a good efficacy index of 0.63. Finally, the outcome of the third objective was that the students had an excellent-level attitude toward the course.
