Development of Science Process Skills and Learning Achievement of Prathomsuksa 3 Students on the Topic of Sun and Life by Inquiry-Based Learning (5Es) and model

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to compare the learning science process skills after learning by using Inquiry- based learning (5Es) and model, with an average of 70 percent, 2) compare the learning achievement on Sun and Life before and after learning by using inquiry-based learning (5Es) and model, and 3) to study students’ satisfaction upon using inquiry-based learning (5Es) and model. The sample consisted of 29 Pratomsuksa 3 students at Chumpae school in the 2nd semester of the academic year 2022. The research instruments consisted of 1) lesson plans using inquiry - based learning (5Es) and model, 2) science process skills test, 3) the achievement test and 4) satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics used were percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test for one sample, and t-test for Dependent Samples. The findings were as follows:
1) The students' science process skills after learning were statistically higher than those the criteria 70 percentage at .01 level of significant difference.
2) The students' learning achievement after learning was statistically higher than those before learning at the .05 level of significant difference.
3) The students' satisfaction with the learning management based on 5Es with the use of modelshowed at the highest level. (= 4.82, SD.= 0.32)
