A STUDY OF THE MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS. CASE STUDY : BANMAINAMNGERN SCHOOL ON PHAYAO PRIMARY EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AREA OFFICE 2

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study and solve mathematical problems of spiritual students. Case study : Banmainamngern school on Phayao primary educational service area office 2. The target group is 16 students in grades 1-6 of the 2024 academic year, Consisting of 4 people in Grade 1, 3 people in Grade 2, 2 people in Grade 3, 2 people in Grade 4, 2 people in Grade 5, and 3 people in Grade 6. The instruments used were: 1) a mathematics problem-solving ability test, 2) a self-efficacy assessment form, 3) a parental academic support assessment form, 4) an attitude assessment form toward mathematics, and 5) a mathematics achievement motivation assessment form. Statistics used in data analysis included percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The research results found that students had the highest ability in solving mathematical problems, at a good level (62.50%), followed by a fair level (25.00%) and a very good level (12.50%). The results of the study of the relationship between the ability to solve mathematical problems and the following factors : Self-efficacy perception was at the level of agreement ( =3.93, =0.74),Academic support from parents is at the agreeable level ( =3.98,            =0.91), Attitude towards mathematics is at the strongly agree level ( =4.00,      =0.96), And the motivation to achieve success in learning mathematics is at the level of strong agreement ( =4.30, =0.74). A study of the relationship between mathematics problem solving ability and individual student factors, The satisfactory score group had opinions at the level of uncertainty and agreement. The good score group had opinions at the level of agree and strongly agree. And the score group is very good, with all opinions at the level of strongly agree. Therefore, the ability to solve mathematical problems is related to the studied factors.
