The Development of Learning Management Model of Chemistry Subject to Enhance Academic Achievement and Critical Thinking of Mathayomsuksa 4 Students

Abstract

The objectives of research study were 1) elements of critical thinking, 2) study current state and problematic conditions in management of chemistry learning to enhance academic achievement and critical thinking for mathayomsuksa 4 students, 3) develop academic achievement and critical thinking for mathayomsuksa 4 students, 4) study the results model. The group informants consisted of 7 experts who were selected by specific means. The sample group included secondary school year 4 students at Anukoolnaree school, under the secondary educational service area office 24 semester 1, academic year 2020, 30 people were obtained by using a specific sample group. Research tools are: assessment form examines the suitability of components critical thinking, interview form, focus group conversation recording, assessment form for suitability model, achievement test, critical thinking test, satisfaction assessment form. This research was conducted in accordance with the nature of research and development processes (Research and Development), to analyze the average, percentage, standard deviation, t-test, content analysis.
The research results found that:
1) Learning factor and indicators of critical thinking were 6 main learning factor and 38 indicators, which composes of; 1) inductive thinking, 2) deduction thinking, 3) question, 4) interpretation, 5) recognition of assumptions, 6) evaluation of arguments. The results of suitability assessment were at the highest level.
2) General conditions and problems in chemistry learning management to enhance academic achievement and critical thinking for mathayomsuksa 4 students, chemistry teachers tried to manage learning chemistry. But students still have not encourage critical thinking.
3) Learning management model of chemistry subject to enhance academic achievement and critical thinking for mathayomsuksa 4 components as follows: 1) probing problems 2) data collection 3) cultivation 4) practice 5) conclusion and 6) measurement and evaluation. This called PDCPCM model, have efficiency 75.25/73.46.
4) The results of learning management model were found that 1) students had higher learning achievement after school than before, 2) students had the ability to think critically. after the study was higher than the group that received normal learning management, 3) students had a high level of satisfaction.
