Development of Behavioral and Learning Mmathematics Achievement by Using the Behavior Log Book of Mathayomsuksa 1, Mae On Wittayalai School

Abstract

          This research aimed to develop a learning behavior and learning achievement using the behavior log book of ratio, proportion and percentage learning in a basic mathematics course. One group pre-post test design using an action research approach was employed in the study. The sample group of the research was Mattayomsuksa 1 of Mae On Wittayalai School, a total of 29 students selected by simple random sampling. The research tools included a behavior log book, and pretest and posttest on ratios, proportions and percentages. The statistics used were percentage, mean, relative gain score and paired sample t-test. In the research, the sample takes a pretest and posttest before and after learning the lesson. Each student maintains a behavior log book in which they note things like attending class, turning in their homework, and other behaviors.
          The results showed that 12.57 percent more students arrived on time while using a behavior log book. A greater percentage of the student's work was submitted on time, accounting for 37.65 percent. Study behavior improved which determined by the number of green stickers indicating good behavior. The trends were on the rise, in contrast to the number of red stickers indicating bad behavior, that showed a steadily decreasing trend. In addition, academic achievement of the ratio, proportion and percentage learning after using the behavior log was statistically higher at 0.05 level of significance. Moreover, considering the individual relative gain score, it can be concluded that 79.31 percent of the students had a positive relative development score.
