THE EFFECTS OF LEARNING MANAGEMENT USING THE DESIGN THINKING PROCESS ON THE CREATIVITY OF GRADE 6 STUDENTS IN THE TOPIC OF VOLUME AND CAPACITY

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: (1) evaluate the effectiveness of learning management using the design thinking process on the topic of volume and capacity, (2) assess the creativity of Grade 6 students following the implementation, and (3) investigate students’ satisfaction with the design thinking-based learning approach. The sample consisted of 12 Grade 6 students from Ban Rongkham School, during the second semester of the 2024 academic year. Research instruments included (1) a learning management plan based on the design thinking process (2) a creativity assessment form and (3) a student satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using percentage mean standard deviation and t-test one sample. The results revealed that (1) the instructional plan demonstrated high quality and suitability, with mean scores ranging from 4.76 to 4.80 and standard deviations between 0.21 and 0.29 (2) students' creativity scores exceeded the 70 percent benchmark after the learning management intervention and (3) students reported a very high level of satisfaction with the learning experience. These findings suggest that integrating the design thinking process into mathematics instruction can effectively enhance students’ creativity and engagement.
