Learning Management using 5E Inquiry-Based Learning to Enhance Mathematical Communications on Pyramids, Cones and Spheres for Secondary 3 students (Grade 9)

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to 1) compare students’mathematics achievement with the 60 percent criteria, 2) compare students’ pretest and posttest score, 3) compare students’ mathematical communication competence with the 60 percent criteria, and 4) investigate students’ satisfaction levels. The population was a group of 191 Matthayomsuksa 3 students from 5 classes of Rattanakosinsompoch Bangkhen School, Bangkok. The sample was selected from 1 classroom with 38 students by simple random sampling. The instruments used in this research were 1) lesson plans
2) achievement tests 3) mathematical communication competence test, and 4) satisfaction survey form. The statistics used in this study were mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The results of the study were as follows: 1) Students’ mathematics achievement was higher than 60 percent significantly at the .05 level. 2) Students’ posttest scores were higher than pretest scores significantly at the .05 level. 3) Students’ mathematical communication competence was higher than 60 percent significantly at the .05 level. 4) Students’ satisfaction was at high level.
