The Effect of Problem-based Learning Management with Cooperative Learning Using the STAD Technique to Enhance the Ability to Solve Mathematical Problems on Single Variable Linear Equations and Teamwork Skills of Mathayomsuksa 1 Students

Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) compare the ability to solve mathematical problems regarding linear equations with one variable among Mathayomsuksa 1 students before and after problem-based learning together with cooperative learning using the STAD technique. 2) study of the teamwork skills of Mathayomsuksa 1 students after problem-based learning together with cooperative learning using the STAD technique; and 3) study of the satisfaction's students. The target group in this research was Matthayomsuksa 1 at Sanklangwittaya School, who are studying in the second semester of the academic year 2023. The number of students was 14. The research instruments were: 1) a lesson plan on linear equations in one variable through problem-based learning together with cooperative learning using STAD techniques. 2) The test measures your ability to solve mathematical problems in linear equations with a single variable. 3) A teamwork skills assessment form; and 4) A questionnaire examining students satisfaction with using problem-based learning management with cooperative learning using the STAD technique. The data were analyzed for mean, standard deviation, and statistical analysis. Nonparametric Test Wilcoxon signed the rank test.

The results showed that: 1) The student’s mathematics problem-solving ability regarding linear equations with one variable after studying through problem-based learning management with cooperative learning using the STAD technique was significantly higher than those before studying at the.05 level. 2) Teamwork skills of Mathayomsuksa 1 students: after problem-based learning management combined with cooperative learning using STAD techniques, students had a very good level of teamwork skills. ( = 3.36, S.D.= 0.54); and 3) Students’satisfaction with using problem-based learning management with cooperative learning using the STAD technique of Matthayomsuksa 1 students, was rated the highest. ( =4.56, S.D. = 0.26)
