A COMPARISON OF MATHEMATICS ACHIEVEMENT ON FRACTIONS OF GRADE 7 STUDENTS THROUGH COOPERATIVE LEARNING MANAGEMENT USING THE TGT TECHNIQUE

Abstract

This research aimed to: (1) compare the mathematics achievement on fractions of Grade 7 students through cooperative learning management using the TGT technique against the 70% criterion, (2) compare students’ learning achievement before and after implementing TGT technique, and (3) examine students’ satisfaction with TGT technique. The sample consisted of 40 Grade 7 students from Somdetpittayakhom School, selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included lesson plans, a mathematic achievement test, and a student satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using statistical measures such as mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t-test.

               The research findings revealed that: (1) students’ post-learning achievement through TGT technique was significantly higher than the 70% criterion at the .05 level, (2) students’ post-learning achievement was significantly higher than their pre-learning achievement at the .05 level, and (3) students' satisfaction with TGT technique was at the highest level
