A DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE LEARNING PLANS BY CONSTRUCTIVISM LEARNING MANAGEMENT FOR GRADE 2 STUDENTS

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to: 1) investigate the current state of science teaching management for second-grade primary school students, 2) develop a lesson plan for science education that promotes self-directed learning with an effectiveness criterion of 80/80, and 3) compare the academic achievement of students before and after receiving self-directed learning promotion in science education. The research findings revealed that: 1) the current state of science teaching management for primary school students requires diverse teaching methods that are age-appropriate, stimulate critical thinking, encourage experimentation to find answers, and integrate real-life examples to make learning easier. This approach promotes active student participation in the learning process and helps them apply knowledge in daily life. 2) The lesson plan for science education, which promotes self-directed learning for second-grade students at Anuban Mae Hong Son School, achieved an effectiveness score of 84.75/80.31, surpassing the established criterion. 3) The academic achievement in science education of the students who received self-directed learning promotion had a post-test average score of ( = 16.06, SD = 1.50), which was significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the 0.05 level of significance.
