Abstract

The authentic science classroom requires students to think and solve problems through hands-on activity. This research aims to enhance problem-solving skills in chemistry of grade 10 students through deductive learning with the DAPIC approach, with a passing criterion of 70% or higher of the total score. This research employed action research. The target group consists of 22 students from the model school of Mahasarakham University in the second semester of the academic year 2023. The data collection instruments included nine lesson plans, three sets of essay-type problem-solving tests (each comprising three questions), student interview questionnaires regarding their opinions on learning management, and observational data on problem-solving behavior in chemistry. The research findings indicated that the target group improved their problem-solving skills after learning through deductive learning with the DAPIC approach. In the first cycle, 50% of students (11 out of 22) met the passing criterion of 70%. In the second cycle, 81.82% of students (18 out of 22) passed, and in the third cycle, 95.45% of students (21 out of 22) achieved the passing criterion. It can be concluded that deductive learning with the DAPIC approach can also enhance students' problem-solving in the science classroom.

Abstract

Many students in Grade 5 struggle to make sense of science lessons, especially when the material feels abstract and far from their everyday experience. Although science holds an important place in Thailand’s education system as one of the eight main subjects, young learners often find it difficult to stay engaged or fully grasp the concepts. STEM education, a contemporary and productive instruction to science.This study aimed to investigate the implementation of STEM-based science learning activities for Grade 5 students in terms of learning outcomes and student satisfaction. The one group pre-test and post-test design was employed. This study involved eight Grade 5 students who were chosen through purposive sampling. They took part in a series of STEM-based science lessons, with data gathered through lesson plans, achievement tests, and a student satisfaction questionnaire. The results showed a significant improvement in post-test scores compared to pre-test scores, and student satisfaction was rated at the highest level (M = 4.79, SD = 0.34). These findings highlight the potential of STEM-based instruction to improve learning outcomes and engagement in primary science education
