Abstract

This research aimed to investigate and compare the learning achievement, problem-solving thinking skills, and attitudes towards Social Studies, Religion, and Culture learning management of Prathomsuksa 5 (Grade 5) students. The study compared a group that received phenomenon-based learning management with a group that received regular learning management. The sample consisted of 70 Prathomsuksa 5 students from Piboonbumpen Demonstration School, Burapha University, Chonburi, divided into two classes of 35 students each, selected using cluster random sampling. The research instruments included phenomenon-based lesson plans, regular lesson plans, an achievement test, a problem-solving thinking skills test, and an attitude test towards phenomenon-based learning activity. The research findings revealed that, in terms of learning achievement, problem-solving thinking skills, and attitudes towards learning Social Studies, Religion, and Culture, the overall post-test mean scores of both the phenomenon-based learning group and the regular learning group were higher than their pre-test scores. Furthermore, a comparison of the post-test scores showed that the phenomenon-based learning group had significantly higher mean scores in learning achievement, problem-solving skills, and attitudes towards Social Studies, Religion, and Culture learning than the regular learning group, at a statistical significance level of .05.
