THE EFFECTS OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING USING THE TGT TECHNIQUE WITH MULTIMEDIA ON LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT AND ATTITUDE TOWARD MATHEMATIC SUBJECT OF GRADE 6 STUDENTS

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) compare the learning achievement before and after learning through cooperative learning by using TGT technique with Multimedia, 2) compare the learning achievement after learning through cooperative learning by using TGT technique with Multimedia with the criteria of 70 percent of the total score, and 3) study of the attitudes toward learning mathematics after learning through cooperative learning by using TGT technique with Multimedia. The sample was 16 grade 6 students of Watbanthanang School obtained by Cluster Random Sampling. The research instruments were 1) the 4 lesson plans regarding to cooperative learning by using TGT technique with Multimedia, 2) the 30 items, multiple-choice Mathematics learning achievement test with four answer choices, and 3) the 24 items, a 5-point rating scale assessment from of attitudes toward learning mathematics. The statistical tools for data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The research findings were as follows:

1) The mathematics subject achievement had post-test higher than that of pre-test score. 2) The mathematics subject achievement was higher than the 70 percent of the total score at the .05 level of significance. and 3) The attitude towards learning in mathematics was at the good level.
