Comparison of the Results Learning Management on the Sequence and Series of Mathayomsuksa 5 Students by Using the TAI Collaborative Learning Techniques with the Conventional Teaching Method

Abstract

          The purposes of this study were to: 1) compare the mathematics achievement on sequence and seriesof Mathayomsuksa five students by using TAI  cooperative learning technique before and after the experiment 2) compare the mathematics achievement on sequence and series of Mathayomsuksa five students by using TAI cooperative learning technique with the conventional teaching method 3) study the satisfaction of Mathayomsuksa five students towards TAI cooperative learning technique. The population were four classrooms of Mathayomsuksa five students of Muanglangsuan School in Chumphon province. They were 110 students. The samples of this research were 2 classrooms with equal basic knowledge of 24 students per classroom. The researcher used TAI cooperative learning technique in the experimental group and used the conventional teaching method for a controlled group. The instruments  were 1) the lesson plan of sequence and series by using TAI cooperative Learning technique and  the conventional teaching method 2) the mathematics achievement test and 3) the students’ satisfaction questionnaire on learning by using TAI cooperative Learning technique. The data were analyzed by using mean, standard deviation (S.D.) and a paired sample t-test.

            The findings revealed that 1) the mathematics achievement of  the experimental group was higher than before learning by using TAI cooperative Learning technique, at a statistical significance level of .05, 2) the mathematics achievement of the experimental group taught by the TAI cooperative Learning technique was higher than a controlled group using the conventional teaching method , at a statistical significance level of .05, and 3) the students’ satisfaction towards TAI cooperative learning technique was  at a high level.
