Comparisons of Achievement Creative Problem Thinking of Mutthayomsueksa 1 Students Towards Organization Learning of Cooperative Learning with Performance Skill and Conventional Learning Approaches

The purposes of this research were: (1) to develop lesson plans for organization learning combined of cooperative learning with performance skill and conventional learning approach with a required efficiency criterion of 75/75, (2) to find out effectiveness indices of the plans for organization learning of cooperative learning with performance skill and conventional learning approach and (3) to compare learning achievement and creative problem solving between organization of learning cooperative learning with performance skill and conventional learning approach. The sample for this study consisted of Mattayomsueksa 1 students, attending Huayjingwittaya School in the second semester of the academic year of 2013, obtained using the cluster random sampling technique. The students were divided into 2 groups, Experimental group was of Mattayomsueksa 1/2 students who learned using organization activities learning of cooperative learning with performance skill approach ; and Control group was Mattayomsueksa 1/3 students who learned using organization conventional learning approach. The instruments used in this study were: (1) 8 plan for organization of learning activities using cooperative learning with performance skill and conventional approach, (2) a 40 item of 4 multiple choice achievement test with discriminating powers ranging 0.40 - 0.67 and a reliability of 0.95 and (3) creative problem solving thinking test with a reliability of 0.76, The statistics used for analyzing the collected data were percentage, mean, standard deviation and Hotelling’s T2 was employed for testing hypothesis. The results of the study were as follows: 1. The plans for organization of learning using cooperative learning with performance skill and conventional learning approach had efficiencies of 82.55/80.08 and 78.86/75.08 which were higher than the established requirement. 2. The effectiveness indices of the plans for organization of learning using cooperative learning with performance skill and conventional learning approach were 0.7207 and 0.6519 showing that the students had learning progress at 72.07 and 65.19 percent respectively. 3. The students who learned using the developed lesson plans showed higher of learning achievement and creative problem solving thinking for cooperative learning with performance skill than who learned using the conventional approach at the .05 level of significance.
