Abstract
The purposes of this study were 1) to develop stem activity packages 2) to study of result of stem activity packages on community waste, critical problem-solving ability and environmental awareness of grade 8 students. The design of this study was One – Group Pretest – Posttest Design. The samples were grade 8 students at Nongtakongpittayakarn School, duration of second semester of the 2022 academic year, who were selected by Cluster Random Sampling. The research instruments included 1) the stem activity packages for student on community waste, 2) teacher guide and lesson plan for using the stem activity packages,
3) critical problem-solving ability evaluation form, and 4) environmental awareness questionnaire. The research hypotheses were test by t – test for dependent sample and t – test for one sample.
The results indicated that: 1) the quality of the the stem activity packages for student pass the assessment criteria of experts; 2) students who learned through the stem activity packages had higher critical problem-solving ability than before the instruction at the .01 level of significance and had higher critical problem-solving ability than 60 percent of the criteria at .01 level of significance; 3) students who learned through the stem activity packages had higher environmental awareness than before the instruction at the .01 level of significance.
