THE STUDY OF LEARNING ACHIVEVEMENT AND SATISFACTION OF MATHAYOM 4 (MATHEMATICS-SCIENCE PROGRAM) OF PATUMWAN DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL ON CORNELL NOTE-TAKING ACTIVITIES

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to study students’ learning achievement and satisfaction towards Cornell Note-Taking activities in Biology 1 subject. The population of this study were 153 Mathayom 4 students who studied in the first semester of the academic year 2021 at Patumwan Demonstration School. The samples, which were 38 students from Mathayom 4 Room 144, were purposively selected. The duration of the experiment was 26 periods. The research instruments consisted of 1) Biology 1 lesson plans using the Cornell Note-taking activities which were evaluated at good level (𝑥̅ = 4.81, S.D. = 0.28), 2) the biology achievement test with difficulty index ranged from 0.483 to 0.793, discrimination index ranged from 0.276 to 0.931, and reliability coefficient at 0.802, and 3) a student satisfaction questionnaire with discrimination index ranged from 0.452 to 0.890 and reliability coefficient at 0.866.The research results were as follows: (1) The students’ learning achievement after using the Cornell Note-Taking activities ( 𝑥̅ = 9.75, S.D. = 2.82) was significantly higher at .05 level than before using the activities (t=13.582 p = 0.000). (2) The students’ overall satisfaction towards Cornell Note-Taking activities in Biology 1 was at a medium level (𝑥̅ = 3.40, S.D. = 0.93). Compared to the 60% criteria, the students had a significantly higher level of satisfaction at the .05 level (t = 2.68, df =37, p-value = .01).
