Learning Achievements on Science Learning and Scientific Process Skills by Using the Inquiry Based Learning 5E Instructional Model with Cooperative Learning : Team Game Tournament (TGT)

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the comparison, based on learning accomplishment, between science learning and scientific process skills among first-grade students in a public school by using the Inquiry-based learning 5E instructional model with cooperative learning – Team Game Tournament (TGT). The sample in the study was 30 first-grade students in Ban Khokta School located in Sungaipanee district, Narathiwat. The research instruments consisted of (1) learning 5E instructional model with cooperative learning – Team Game Tournament or TGT (five sessions of Materials Around You) (2) science learning accomplishment test, and (3) scientific process skills (observation-based method) assessment test. The data were analyzed by using t-test descriptive statistics.
The results of the study were as follows: 1. The achievement of learning outcome after the implementation 5E instructional model with cooperative learning – Team Game Tournament or TGT based on Materials Around You topic among the first-grade students was significantly higher than before the implementation. (p<.05) 2. Scientific process skills among the first-grade students after the implementation 5E instructional model with cooperative learning – Team Game Tournament or TGT was significantly higher than before the implementation. (p<.05)
