The Development of Science Process Skills and Analytical Thinking Ability for Grade 4 Students Using 7e Learning Cycle Model With Open-Ended Question
Keywords:
Science process skills, Analytical thinking Ability, 7E Learning Cycle, Open-ended QuestionsAbstract
The objectives of the research were to 1) develop the Science Process Skills and 2) develop the Analytical Thinking Abilities of grade 4 students so that students would have average score and there were the amount of students who passed not less than 70% of grade 4 students so that students would have average score not less than 70%. The target group consisted of 50 Grade 4/1 students School in Khon Kaen Province, under the Office of Khon Kaen Primary Educational Service Area 5. The research instuments categorized into 3 categories were: 1) experimental tools 2) reflection tools and 3) Evaluation tools consisted. Quantitative data Analytical was analyzed by descriptive statistics consisted of mean , X standard deviation (S.D), and percentage (%). Qualitative data Analytical was analyzed using Content Analysis. The results were summarized: 1) The students had average score of Science process skills for 22.58, accounted for 75.27 percent and there were 36 students passed the criteria accounting for 72.00 percent which was higher than defined criteria and The students develop of Science Process Skills as follows :classification, organizing data and communication, observation, interpreting data conclusion, and inferring. 2) The students had average score of Analytical thinking abilities for 23.72, accounted for 79.07 percent and there were 38 students passed the criteria accounting for 76.00 percent which was higher than defined criteria and The students develop of Analytical Thinking Abilities as follows :analysis of elements, analysis of relationship, and analysis of principles.
