Abstract

This research aims to study the effects of Seven-step inquiry method (7E) and cooperative learning with STAD techniques that affect learning achievement , problem solving skills and attitude towards science.The target groups used in the research was 10 of twelfth grade studentsin the second semester, 2561 academic year, Koh Chang Wittayakhom School,Trat.The research instruments include 7 study plans of learning management plan Seven-step inquiry method (7E) and cooperative learning with STAD techniques, Physics achievement test of 30 items,  7 problem solving skills test and attitude scale for science subjects in 20 items. The statistic tool use in average value, standard deviation.

The results of this research were as follows:

1. The learning achievement of twelfth grade students receiving learning management plan Seven-step inquiry method (7E) and cooperative learning with STAD techniques have learning achievement posttest was higher than pretest and have a relative development score of 48.87% with a medium level
2. The learning achievement of twelfth grade students receiving learning management plan Seven-step inquiry method (7E) and cooperative learning with STAD techniques have problem solving posttest was higher than pretest and have a relative development score of 82.93% with a high level
3. The learning achievement of twelfth grade students receiving learning management plan Seven-step inquiry method (7E) and cooperative learning with STAD techniques have attitude towards science posttest was higher than pretest

In conclusion, the management plan Seven-step inquiry method (7E) and cooperative learning with STAD techniques. The learning activities with clear steps.There are various processes, students do activities together,help each other to allow everyone to achieve purpose in learning.
