The Study of Word Problem-Solving Ability on Pythagorean Theorem among Mathayomsuksa 2 Students by Using Learning Management through SSCS Model

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to compare the word problem-solving ability on Pythagorean theorem among Mathayomsuksa 2 students after receiving learning management through SSCS model with the criteria of 60 percent, and 2) to study the word problem-solving ability on Pythagorean theorem among Mathayomsuksa 2 students after receiving learning management through SSCS model, classifying by word problem-solving steps. The sample was obtained by cluster random sampling, which consisted of 25 Mathayomsuksa 2 students at Kanchanapisekwittayalai Chachoengsao School during the first semester of the academic year 2023. The research instruments were lesson plans based on SSCS Model, and tests of word problem-solving ability. The statistics used in analyzing data included percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test.
The results of this research revealed that 1) the word problem-solving ability on Pythagorean theorem among Mathayomsuksa 2 students after receiving learning management through SSCS model was higher than the criteria of 60 percent, with statistical significance at the .05 level. Further, 2) the word problem-solving ability on Pythagorean theorem among Mathayomsuksa 2 students after receiving learning management through SSCS model, classifying by word problem-solving steps are as follows. The ability to understand the word problem was at the “very high” level (95.00 percent), the ability to perform the word problem-solving was at the “medium” level (61.67 percent), and the ability to summarize the word problem’s answer was at the “low” level (56.67 percent).
