Abstract
The objectives of this research were to 1) create a set of Thai dessert cooking activities with 80/80 efficiency criteria, 2) study the results of early childhood children's development of science process skills, and 3) compare early childhood children 's development of science process skills before and after providing experiences using a set of Thai dessert cooking activities. The research sample group consisted of early childhood children in Kindergarten 2, Semester 1 of Academic Year 2023 from Ban Khao Kha School, Sarakwan Network, Sarakaew Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, using the simple random sampling method by drawing lots for 20 students. The instruments used in this research were 5 sets of Thai dessert cooking activities and a science process skills test with IOC values ranging from 0.60 -1.00 with a confidence level of 0.75. The statistics used in the research were percentage, average, standard deviation, and statistical hypothesis test (t-test).
The research results were as follows: 1) The efficiency of the set of Thai dessert cooking activities was 82.36/83.80, 2) Science process skills of early childhood children had an overall average score of 82.50, with average scores of 85.00 percent for observation, 82.00 percent for forecasting, 82.00 percent for consensus, and 81.00 percent for classification, 3) The score of science process of early childhood after experiencing the set of Thai dessert cooking activities was higher than that of before with a statistical significance of .05.
