THE RESULT OF USING PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILL PRACTICE WORKBOOK WITH ALOGORITHMS IN COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE COURSE FOR GRADE 3 STUDENTS

Abstract

The purpose of the research were to; 1) develop Problem-solving skill practice workbook with algorithms in computational science course for grade 3 students to be effective according to the 80/80 criteria, 2) compare the learning achievements between before and after learning of grade 3 students learning based on the Problem-solving skill practice workbook with algorithms in computational science course for grade 3 students, and 3) explore satisfaction of Grade 3 students learning based on the Problem-solving skill practice workbook with algorithms in computational science course for grade 3 students. The samples used in the study were 34 students of Grade 3/2 students studied in semester 2, academic year 2023, at Satit School, under the jurisdiction of Kamphaeng phet Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, obtained using the cluster random sampling technique which uses the classroom as the unit of randomization by simple random sampling by means of drawing lots. The research instruments had 4 types including 1) the Problem-solving skill practice workbook with algorithms in computational science course for grade 3 students, 2) 6 lesson plans, 3) learning outcome tests of before and after learning of grade 3 which were multiple-choice test with 4 choices for 20 sections, and 4) a rating scale questionnaire on students’satisfaction of grade 3 students to learning by the Problem-solving skill practice workbook with algorithms in computational science course for Grade 3 students for 10 sections. The data were analyzed by computer software. The statistics used in analyzing the data were percentage, means (), standard deviation (S.D.), efficiency(E1/E2) and t-test (dependent samples). The result findings were as follows: 1) the efficiency value of the Problem-solving skill practice workbook with algorithms in computational science course for Grade 3 students was at 82.95/93.27 which is higher than the specified criteria, 2) the learning outcome of students after using the Problem-solving skill practice workbook with algorithms in computational science course for Grade 3 students was higher than before the test with statistical significance at the level of .01, and 3) the students learning based on the Problem-solving skill practice workbook with algorithms in computational science course for Grade 3 students in overall had satisfaction at a high level.
