The Development of Mathematics Problem Solving Abilities and Learning Achievements of Prathomsuksa 4 Students using Polya’s Problem Solving Process with Games

Abstract

The purpose of this study were 1) to compare mathematical solving problem ability by using polya’s concept with games of grade 4 students congruent with the criterion of 70 percent, 2) to compare students learning achievement between pottest and pretest after using polya’s concept with games of grade 4 students. 3) to study satisfaction on mathematics learning management by polya’s concept blended with game of grade 4 students. The sample were grade 4 students of Kuennumpung School, Phuphan district, Sakon Nakhon province, Sakon Nakhon primary educational service area office 1 by cluster random sampling method.  The research instruments were 1) the  lesson plans by using polya’s concept with games 2) the mathematics problem solving  ability test 3) the mathematics learning achievement test, and 4) The assessing form for learning satisfaction. The statistics used in the research study were mean, standard deviation, percentage and paired sample t-test                                             

            The result of the research were as follow :1) After using polya’s concept with games, learning achievement was higher than 70 percent, 2) After using learning achievement polya’s concept blended with games the pottest was high than that of the pretest with the statistical level of .05, 3) After using learning achievement polya’s concept blended with games have a high level of satisfaction towards the learning managemen concept blended with games,  (mean is 4.40 and standard diviation is 0.68)
