The Development of Learning Activities Using Cooperative Learning of GI Technique on Topic Natural Disasters for Graed 8 Students

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) develop learning activities by using cooperative learning of GI technique on topic Natural Disasters for Graed 8 students, 2)  investigate the effectiveness index of learning through the learning activities by using cooperative learning of GI technique on topic Natural Disasters,  3) compare the learning achievement before and after learning though the learning activities by using cooperative learning of GI technique on topic Natural Disasters and 4) study the satisfaction of Graed 8 students towards learning by  using cooperative learning of GI technique on topic Natural Disasters. The samples of this study were the 40 students who study in 2/3 classroom at Wapi Pathum School, studying in the second semester of academic year 2022, selected by the Cluster random sampling.

The research instruments were: 1) 10 lesson plans for using cooperative learning of GI technique, 2) a 30-item achievement test with 4 multiple choices; and 3) a 15-item questionnaire. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation. The hypothesis was tested by using the dependent samples t-test. The results of the study were as follows ; 1) The learning activities by using cooperative learning of GI technique on topic Natural Disasters for Graed 8 students,  10 lesson plans were obtained. The average suitability assessment result ranged from 4.61 to 4.85. 2) The effectiveness index of learning using cooperative learning of GI technique on topic Natural Disasters for Graed 8 students was 0.7010 accounted for 70.10 percent. 3) The learning achievement of the student after using learning cooperative learning of GI technique on topic Natural Disasters for Graed 8 students was higher than before using those activities with statistically significant difference at the level of .05. and 4) The satisfaction of the student with using learning cooperative learning of GI technique on topic Natural Disasters for Graed 8 students as a whole was at a highest level.
