Effects of 4 MAT System Learning Activities on Science Learning Achievement and Science Process Skills of Prathomsuksa 6th Students at Nonthaburi Educational Network Center, Service Area 2, Bangbuathong District

Abstract

           The purposes of this study were : (1) to compare science learning achievement and (2) to compare science process skills between Prathomsuksa 6^th Students who learned science subject through 4 MAT system learning activities and those who learned it through traditional learning activities.

          This experimental research was conducted with a sample of 76 Prathomsuksa 6^th Students, as clustered samples, from two classrooms who enrolled the first semester of 2015 academic year at Wat Ladpladuk School.  The experimental group and the control group con included 38 students each. For eight weeks, the experimental group learned science subject through 4 MAT system learning activities while the control group learned it through traditional learning activities.  The research instruments were lesson plans on 4 MAT system learning activities, lesson plans on traditional learning activities, a learning achievement test and a science process skill test. The data was analyzed by mean () and standard deviation (S.D.) and t-test for independent sample.

           The results showed that (1) students with 4 MAT system learning activities had higher learning achievement than students with conventiona at a statistical significant of 0.01; and (2) students with 4 MAT system learning activities developed science process skills higher than students with conventional at a statistical significant of 0.01.
