Abstract

The objectives of this research were to 1) study the learning outcome of the 1^st grade early childhood students in Ayutthaya Primary Educational Service Area   Office 2 by Project-based activities on the ability of problem solving and desirable characteristics, and 2)  compare the learning outcome of the 1^st grade early childhood students by project-based activities on the ability of problem solving before and after learning. The sample population of this research were 30 students, aged between 4-5 years, in the 1^st -2^nd grade semester of early childhood in academic year of 2017 at Wat Muangwan (Suan Krabuanyooth Prachason) School, Bangbal District, Ayutthaya Province, under the jurisdiction of Ayutthaya Primary Educational Service Area Office 2. They were selected using simple random sampling.  The research instruments consisted of project-based activity and the problem solving evaluation form.
