PREDICTION-OBSERVATION-EXPLANATION LEARNING ACTIVITIES TO DEVELOP SKILLS IN THE INTEGRATED SCIENCE PROCESS AND ACHIEVEMENT FOR MATHAYOMSUKSA 1 STUDENTS

Abstract

This research aims to 1) develop the Prediction-Observation-Explanation (POE) learning activities for Mathayom 1 students to be effective according to the 70/70 criteria. 2) compare the integrated science process skills of Mathayom 1 students before and after learning by organizing the Prediction-Observation-Explanation (POE) learning activities 3) compare the science achievement of Mathayom 1 students before and after using the Prediction-Observation-Explanation learning activities. The research sample consisted of 40 Mathayom 1 students. The research tools included 1) a Prediction-Observation-Explanation (POE) learning activity plan, 2) an integrated science process skills test, and 3) a science learning achievement test. Statistics used in data analysis include mean, percentage, standard deviation and t-test (Dependent Sample).

The results of the research found that 1. Prediction-Observation-Explanation  (POE) learning activities for Mathayom 1 students had an efficiency of 72.77/74.67. 2. Integrated science process skills of students using Organize learning activities using Prediction-Observation-Explanation (POE) before class with a mean value of 11.85 and after class with a mean value of 15.68, which shows that after class is higher than before class with statistical significance at the .05 level. 3. The academic achievement of students who used the Prediction-Observation-Explanation (POE) learning activities before studying had an average of 16.43 and after studying the average was 22.40, which was clearly higher than before with statistical significance at the .05 level.
