The Problem Base Learning and Case Base Learning Model that Effects Achievement, Scientific Attitude of Science and Satisfaction among Students enrolling in Science and Modern Technology Course

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to compare the learning achievement by the problem based learning and case based learning model using the pre-test and the post-test, to compare the scientific attitude of the students through the learning model, and to study the satisfaction of the students through the learning model. The samples of this research were 40 bachelor students by the cluster random sampling from the faculty of Industry and Technology of Rajamangala University of Technology Isan. The instruments used in this research included 1) the problem based learning and the case based learning plan-activities ( =4.88, S.D.=0.52), 2) the learning achievement test with 5 multiple choice answers, as a number of 50 items totally (IOC = 0.86-1.00, B = 0.24-0.82, p = 0.42-0.82, r_cc = 0.85), 3) the scientific attitude test with 5 rating scales, as a number of 20 items totally (IOC = 0.82-1.00, B = 0.28-0.84, r_cc = 0.95), and 4) the satisfaction test with 5 rating scales, as a number of 10 items totally (IOC = 0.78-1.00, r_cc = 0.95). The data analyzed using an arithmetic mean, standard deviation and t-test for dependent samples. The results were found: 1) for the learning achievement of the students, the scores of post-test were higher than pre-test at the significant level .01, 2) the scientific attitudes’ pre-test scores of the students were higher than pre-test at the significant level .01, and 3) the satisfaction of the students to the learning model were at high level entirely.
