Abstract

          The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the learning achievement in the topic of application of conversion of  8th grade students after learning management based on STEM Education together with game-based teaching methods compared to the criteria of 70 percent; 2) to study the STEM skills of 8th grade students who received learning management based on STEM Education together with game-based teaching methods; and 3) to study their satisfaction with learning management based on STEM Education together with game-based teaching methods of conversion of 8th grade students. The sample group was Mathayomsuksa 2/4 students in Kasetsart University Laboratory School, Kamphaeng Saen Campus Center for Educational Research and Development, semester 2, Academic Year 2020, consisting of 35 students obtained by cluster random sampling. The instrument used for collecting data consisted of learning management plan, achievement test, STEM skills assessment form and the satisfaction questionnaire on learning management. Data were statistically analyzed by mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The research results were summarized as follows: 1) learning achievement on application of conversion of 8th grade students after learning management based on STEM Education together with game-based teaching methods was 70%higher than the criteria; 2) 8th grade students who received learning management based on STEM Education together with game-based teaching methods had STEM skills at a high level; and 3) the students in 8th grade were satisfied with learning management based on STEM Education together with game-based teaching methods at a high level.
