The Development of Learning Efficiency in History for 3rd-Grade Elementary Students at Don Ka Dee Municipality School in Samut Sakhon Province, using the STAD Cooperative Learning Technique

Abstract

            This study aimed to achieve the following objectives: 1) Develop an efficient teaching methodology meeting the prescribed 80/80 standard criteria. 2) Investigate the learning outcomes resulting from implementing cooperative and collaborative teaching approaches. 3) Enhance student quality to be adaptable and successful in the contemporary world while fostering their ability to adapt to societal conditions. The research employed various tools, including pre- and post-learning tests, diverse activity sets, and measures to assess learning performance, student behavior observations, and evaluations of desirable student traits. Statistical analyses involved mean, standard deviation (S.D.), and Dependent t-tests.

            The study focused on cooperative teaching to elevate overall learning outcomes and modify the behaviors of students lacking in responsibility within the classroom. Prior to implementing cooperative teaching, the average test score for learning outcomes was 12.58. However, after employing this approach, the average score increased to 15.38, indicating a 2.80-point increase, equating to a 22.19% rise. Additionally, the standard deviation reduced from 2.12 to 0.26, suggesting decreased data dispersion, indicating improved data quality and closer scores among students. This positively impacted the development of various other learning aspects, making teaching different skills more straightforward.
