Abstract

The purposes of this research were Effects of Learning Management on Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division of Decimals based on Constructivist Theory of Underhill with Bar Model Technique towards Learning Achievement and Analytical Thinking Ability. The samples of this study were 28 students of grad 6 students studying in the second semester of the academic year 2019 at Wat Ban Mueang Pho School. They were selected by cluster random sampling. The research instruments included: 1) 16 lesson plans, 2) a 30-item multiple choice achievement test; and 3) a 5-item analytical ability test the theoretical analysis according to Marzano's theories of analysis. The statistics used for data analysis was percentage, mean, standard deviation and hypothesis was tested by using Dependent Sample t-test and One Sample t-test.


              The results of the study were as follows: 1. Learning achievement scores were significantly higher than before learning at statistical level of .05. 2. Learning achievement scores were higher than specified criteria of 70 percent at statistically significant level of .05. 3. Analytical thinking ability scores were significantly higher than before learning at statistical level of .05. 4. The analytical thinking ability scores were higher than specified criteria of 70 percent with statistically significant level of .05.
