LEARNING RESULTS OF KNOWLEDGE-SEARCHING-BASED LEARNING THROUGH ACTIVITY KIT FOR SCIENCE SUBJECT: HUMAN AND ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY FOR GRADE EIGHT STUDENTS

Abstract

The research on learning results of knowledge-searching-based learning through activity kit for science subject: human and animal physiology for grade eight students had objectives to 1) identify the efficiency of the knowledge-searching-based learning through activity kit for science subject: human and animal physiology for grade eight students as the determined criteria at 80/80, 2) compare the results of pre- and post-learning of the grade eight students instructed through activity kit for science subject: human and animal physiology for grade eight students, 3) observe the samples’ group working during the use of the activity kit for science subject: human and animal physiology for grade eight students, and 4) identify the samples’ scientific attitude towards the learning through the activity kit for science subject: human and animal physiology for grade eight students. The samples, chosen by cluster random sampling, were 27 grade eight class two students of Chakangrao Wittaya School (In-Chum Deesarn-ouppatham), Mueang Kamphaengphet district, Kamphaeng Phet province who were instructed by the knowledge-searching-based learning activity kit for science subject: human and animal physiology for grade eight students for 22 hours (8 weeks), during semester 1, academic year 2018. Research instruments were the science activity kit for knowledge-searching-based learning: human and animal physiology for grade eight students, practice tests, observation form for group working, and questionnaire for scientific attitude evaluation. The data were analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, development percentage, and t-test. Results indicated that: 1. The study of the efficiency of the knowledge-searching-based learning through activity kit for science subject: human and animal physiology for grade eight students to find and , the result indicated that the activity kit had 85.06/86.91, which were higher than the determined criteria at 80/80. 2. The comparison of the results of pre- and post-learning of the grade eight students instructed through activity kit for science subject: human and animal physiology for grade eight students, the result indicated that the post-learning result was higher than the pre-learning with statistical significant at 0.05. 3. The observation of the samples’ group working during the use of the activity kit for science subject: human and animal physiology for grade eight students indicated that they had overall quality of group working skills at Good level. 4. The identification of the samples’ scientific attitude towards the learning through the activity kit for science subject: human and animal physiology for grade eight students, the result indicated that they had positive attitude towards the learning in overall at the Highest level.
