A Development of Learning Activities by Using STEM Education to Enhance Problem-Solving Ability on Work and Energy in Physics for Grade 10 Students

Abstract

The research purpose was to develop learning activities by using STEM Education to enhancing the problem solving ability on work and energy in Physics of Grade X students. Using purposive selection technique, the sample were 36 students who studied in 2019 academic year at Phetpittayakom School, Phetchabun Province. The research instruments were an appropriateness of learning activity evaluation form, a problem-solving ability test and workpiece of student evaluation form. The data were analyzed by statistics mean ( ), Standard deviation (S.D.) Efficiency (E₁/E₂) and comparing problem solving ability in work and energy topic in Physics between pre-test and post-test. The finding showed that the efficiency of learning activities was 79.03/78.47 through the criterion 75/75. The post-learning mean problem-solving ability score of the student was significantly higher than their pre-learning counterpart at the .05 level and the quality of the students' workpiece is high level.
