Abstract

The objectives of this study were 1) to create and find the efficiency of packages of knowledge construction based on constructivist theory to enhance creative thinking on topic of the creation of decorative items from local materials for grade 1 students, occupational and technology learning subject group effective according to the 80/80 criteria. 2) to compare the creative thinking before and after school of students studying with packages. 3) to find the index of effectiveness of packages and 4) to study the students' satisfaction towards the packages. The target group used in this research was 36 grade 1 students who were selected by purposive sampling in the first semester of the 2019 academic year at Dong Dao Chaeng Phatthana Suksa School under the office of secondary education service area 22. Research instruments 1) 6 sets of packages of knowledge construction based on constructivist theory to enhance creative thinking on topic of the creation of decorative items from local materials for grade 1 students, occupational and technology learning subject group; Creativity before and after classes of students studying with the packages. 11-item subjective form 3) 15-item student satisfaction assessment form. Data were analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation, and 4) 6 plans for 12-hour constructivist learning management plans.

The results showed that 1) Efficiency packages of knowledge construction based on constructivist theory to enhance creative thinking on the topic of the creation of decorative items from local materials for grade 1 students, occupational and technology learning subject group with 84.49% test results during class. And post-study tests accounted for 87.50%, efficiency was 84.49/87.50, which was higher than the 80/80 threshold. This indicates that the packages can improve their effectiveness. 2) The students' creativity before learning had a mean score of 7.42, the standard deviation of 1.05. The mean score was 22.19, the standard deviation was 1.51. When comparing the criteria with the students' creativity score after learning, it was found that the creativity of the learners after learning was higher than before. 3) The effectiveness index of packages is 0.8135. This means that learners have an 81.35 percent increase in knowledge that meets the specified criteria, which is 0.50 or more and 4) The satisfaction of grade 1 students of Dong Dao Chaengpattana Suksa School towards the packages as a whole was at the highest level according to the criteria of Boonchom Srisaat (2002), with an average of equal to 4.49 The mean of the standard deviation was 0.39, where the item with the highest level of satisfaction was the design of the packages with the appropriate size (= 4.75, S.D. = 0.55) the variable was at the highest level.
