Abstract

The purposes of this study were 1) develop learning plan of inquiry method (5E) with using Board Games to enhance system thinking of Mathayomsuksa 4 Students to have the required criterion efficiency of 80/80. 2) study the Growth score the system thinking of Mathayomsuksa 4 students after learning of inquiry method (5E) with using Board Games. 3) enhance system thinking to study the satisfaction of students using inquiry method (5E) with using Board Games to enhance system thinking of Mathayomsuksa 4 students. The sample consisted of Mathayomsuksa 4/5 students of Mahasarakham University Demonstration School (Secondary) Kantharawichai District, Maha sarakham Province, in the second semester of the academic year of 2021, obtained from the cluster random sampling technique. The instruments used for the study comprised of 1) plans of 5E inquiry learning with using Board Games total 6 plans with 12 hours 2) Board Games total 6 board games 3) a 20 - item test of with System thinking difficulties ranging 0.39 - 0.71, discriminating powers ranging 0.29 - 0.64, and a reliability of 0.73 4) satisfaction measure in learning management form. The data was analysed by using mean, percentage, standard deviation, the effectiveness of the learning (E1/E2), and growth score.

          The results of the study showed as follows 1) the effectiveness of the learning plan of inquiry method (5E) with using Board Games to enhance system thinking of Mathayomsuksa 4 Students was 84.90/81.15 which meets the criteria 80/80 2) Mathayomsuksa 4 students received this learning of inquiry method (5E) with using Board Games have Growth score the system thinking 63.10% Growth score them were increased high level. 3) the satisfaction of the students using this learning plan of inquiry method (5E) with using Board Games was at the highest level with an average of 4.88.
