Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the mathematical problem-solving ability of eighth-grade students after learning by using the SSCS learning management combined with the mathematics learning activity package. The sample group in this research was 15 students selected from a class of eighth-grade students from Wat Pho Sadet School, studied in semester 2 of the academic year 2021, using a group random sampling, in which the classroom was a randomization unit. Research tools used composed of 1) SSCS learning management plan combined with a mathematics learning activity package on prism and cylinder for eighth-grade, and 2) a mathematical problem-solving ability test and problem-solving ability scoring. Statistics used in data analysis were mean, percentage, and Wilcoxon signed rank test statistics.
The results showed that the mathematics problem-solving ability of eighth-grade students after learning by using SSCS learning management combined with the mathematics learning activity package about prisms and cylinders for eighth-grade was at a good level. When considering each step, the results were as follows: 1) Problem understanding step, the students received a score of 89.44 percent; their abilities were at an excellent level, 2) Problem solving planning, the students received a score of 60.00 percent; their abilities were at a fair level, 3) Problem solving step, the students received a score of 83.33 percent; their abilities were at an excellent level, and 4) Checking results step, the students received a score of 78.33 percent; their abilities were at a good level.
