THE EFFECTS OF LEARNING MANAGEMENT BY USING 5-STEPS LEARNING PROCESS WITH THE STAR STRATEGY ON THE LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT AND ATTITUDE TOWARD MATHEMATICS ON THE TOPIC OF SURFACE AREA AND VOLUME OF GRADE 8 STUDENTS

Abstract

The purpose of this research were to compare the learning achievement of Grade 8 students before and after learning by using 5-STEPs learning process with the STAR Strategy on the topic of Surface Area and Volume; and to study the attitude towards mathematics of Grade 8 students after learning by using
5 - STEPs learning process with the STAR Strategy as an experimental research.
(One – Group Pretest - Posttest Design)

          The populations consisted of 126 Grade 8 students in second semester of 2023 academic year in Educational Opportunity Expansion School (Lansak School group 2) under the office of Uthai Thani Primary Education Service Area 2. The sample consisted of 16 Grade 8 students of Wat Khao Phraya Sangkaram School. The research instrument included the 5-STEPs learning process with the STAR Strategy lesson plan, mathematics learning achievement test on Surface Area and Volume, and a questionnaire on attitude toward mathematics. Data collection methods included Assessing the sample by using Mathematics learning achievement test (Pre-Test), learning management follows 12 hours, Assessing the sample (Post-test), and the students answer a questionnaire on attitude toward mathematics. Statistics used for data analysis were average, standard deviation, and Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test.

          The research findings were 1) Grade 8 students’ achievement learning of Mathematics on the topic of Surface Area and Volume by using 5-STEPs learning process with the STAR Strategy was significantly higher than pre – test score at the statistical level 0.5. The achievement learning was higher than 70 percent criterion at the statistical level 0.5. Grade 8 students’ attitude towards mathematics in overall was high.
