Developing of Effectiveness of Mathematics by Using GPAS 5 Steps with TGT Techniques of Primary 6 Students

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) To develop the Grade 6 students' learning achievement in mathematics on the topic of circles through using the GPAS 5 Steps learning management method combined with the TGT technique so as to be higher than the required criteria of 70 percent; 2) To compare the students' learning achievement in mathematics before and after learning about circles through using the GPAS 5 Steps learning management method combined with the TGT technique; and 3) To explore students' satisfaction with the GPAS 5 Steps learning management method combined with the TGT technique. The sample group, selected by cluster random, consisted of 23 Grade 6 students from one classroom in semester 2 of the 2023 academic year at Sarasas Witaed Saimai School. The tools used in the research were 1) learning management plan, 2)learning achievement test, and 3) GPAS 5 Steps learning management satisfaction test combined with TGT technique. Statistics used in data analysis included: Arithmetic mean standard deviation (SD), the confidence value test and statistical T-test for dependent sample.

The research found that

1) The Grade 6 students' academic achievement in mathematics by organizing the GPAS 5 Steps learning method together with the TGT technique on the subject of circles was higher than the 70% threshold with statistical significance at the .05 level, and a mean of 22.74 which accounted for 75.80 percent.

2) Comparative results of learning achievement in mathematics on the topic of circles for Grade 6 students at Sarasas Witaed Saimai School showed that after using the GPAS 5 Steps learning management method together with TGT technique, the result was higher with statistical significance at the 0.05 level. The average academic achievement before studying was 10.61 points and the average academic achievement after studying was 22.74 points.

3) The Grade 6 students' satisfaction with the GPAS 5 Steps learning management method combined with the TGT technique regarding circles at Sarasas Witaed Saimai School was at a high level. (= 4.38, SD = 0.56)
