THE EFFECTS OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING USING TGT TECHNIQUE ON MATHEMATICS LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT OF SECOND GRADE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS

Abstract

The research aimed to compare the mathematics learning achievement of grade 2 students between before and after the implementation of the cooperative learning approach using the TGT technique. This study also investigated the grade 2 students’ satisfaction towards Mathematics through the cooperative learning approach using the TGT technique. The participants included Grade 2/6 students from Anuban Lopburi School under Lopburi Primary Educational Service Area Office 1 in the first semester of the 2025 academic year. The participants were selected using cluster sampling, with the classroom as the unit of selection. The research instruments included lesson plans based on cooperative learning using the TGT technique, a multiple-choice test of Mathematics learning achievement, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and the dependent sample t-test.

The research findings revealed that: 1) The Mathematics learning achievement of Grade 2 students after the implementation of the cooperative learning approach using the TGT technique were enhanced and significantly higher than before at .05 level; and 2) The Grade 2 students’ satisfaction towards the cooperative learning approach using the TGT technique was at the highest level (= 4.57, S.D. = 0.54).
