Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) compare the learning achievements of fourth grade students before and after learning by the problem-based learning with infographics, 2) compare the mathematical communication ability of fourth grade students before and after learning by the problem-based learning with infographics and 3) study students’ satisfactions towards the problem-based learning with infographics. The research sample consisted of 38 fourth grade students. Cluster random sampling technique was employed for selecting; the classroom was a random unit. The instruments used for collecting data consisted of: 1) lesson plan, 2) an achievement test, 3) the ability test in mathematical communication and 4) the satisfaction questionnaire for activities .The statistics used to analyze the data were mean (gif.latex?x\bar{} ), standard deviation (S.D.) and dependent t-test. The results of the study were as follows. 1) The learning achievements of students after learning by the problem-based learning with infographics higher than before learning at the significance level of .05. 2) The mathematical communication ability of students after learning by the problem-based learning with infographics higher than before learning at the significance level of .05. 3) The satisfactions of students towards the problem-based learning with infographics were very high level ( gif.latex?x\bar{}= 4.54, S.D. = 0.31)
