Main Article Content
Abstract
The objectives of this research are: 1) to compare the learning of creative 3D paper folding activities that enhance the learning abilities of early childhood children before and after participating in the activities; and 2) to study the satisfaction of early childhood children with creative 3D paper folding activities. The subjects used in this study consisted of 21 students, and they studied in Kindergarten Level 3 in the first semester year of the academic year 2023 at Vudhisarnsuksa Kindergarten, located in Cha-am District, Phetchaburi Province, and managed by the Office of the Private Education Commission. The study instruments included the plan for using creative 3D paper folding activities with the early childhood children 18 times, the learning abilities assessment form for the children after participating in the activities, and the satisfaction assessment form of the children for creative 3D paper folding activities. The research is experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest design. Statistics used in the research include mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The study results showed that: 1) The learning abilities of early childhood children after participating in activities improved overall. The mean was 13.95, the standard deviation was 1.28, with a statistically significant difference of 0.05, and 2) the early childhood children's satisfaction with the overall creative 3D paper folding activities was very high ( = 4.37, S.D. = 0.47).
