The Effects of Using Problem-Based Constructivist Infographic Printed Media on the Enhancement of the Problem-Solving Skills of Matthayom Sueksa Three Students

Abstract

In this thesis, the researcher has the objectives to develop 1) infographic printed media based on the constructivist approach to enhance the problem-solving skills of Matthayom Sueksa Three students with a criterion efficiency of 80/80; to compare 2) the learning achievement of the students studying with the constructed infographic printed media; and to examine 3) the problem-solving skills of the students under study. The sample population consisted of forty Matthayom Sueksa Three students at Sainampeung Under the Royal Patronage of Princess. Data were statistically analyzed using mean (M) and standard deviation (SD). The technique of dependent sample t-test was also employed. Findings are as follows:

1) The quality of the infographic printed media based on the constructivist approach was at a good level (M = 4.44, SD = 0.58) and the efficiency of the infographic printed media based on the constructivist approach was 83.33/81.83 in accordance with the set standard of 80/80.

2) The learning achievement of the students studying with infographic printed media based on the constructivist approach was higher after the study than prior to the study at the statistically significant level of .05.

3) The students studying with infographic printed media based on the constructivist approach exhibited overall problem-solving skills at a highest level (81.67 %).
