The Development of CS Unplugged Learning Package with Problem-Based Learning Management to Enhance Problem-Solving Skills of Computing Science for Primary Education Grade 5 Students

Abstract

              The purposes of this research were: 1) to develop CS unplugged learning package with problem-based learning management to be efficient according to the 80/80 criteria, 2) to compare problem-solving skills before and after learning with CS unplugged learning package with problem-based learning management and 3) to compare learning achievement before and after learning with CS unplugged learning package with problem-based learning management.  The research sample group determined by sample random sampling method consisted of 31 students in Primary 5  in the first semester of the academic year 2022 from Chumchonnikhom School, Rayong Province. gaining from simple random sampling.  The research instruments were: 1) a CS unplugged learning package with problem-based learning management, 2) lesson plans, 3) a problem-solving test, and 4) a learning achievement test. Statistics used for data analysis including: percentage, mean, standard deviation and T-test. The results found that 1) efficiency of CS unplugged learning package with problem-based learning management was 80.32/83.01, which was higher than the specified 80/80 criteria, 2) the problem-solving skills of students after learning with CS unplugged learning package with problem-based learning management were higher than before learning with statistically significance at .05 level, and 3) the students who learned with CS unplugged learning package with problem-based learning management had higher learning achievement after learning with statistically significance at .05 level.
