Using Predict – Observe - Explain Learning Approach Supplemented with Learning Log to Promote Conceptual Understanding of Changes in Substances among Grade 5 Students
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study and compare about conceptual understanding of change in substances of grade 5 students learning by predict – observe – explain learning approach supplemented with learning log. This research is a quasi – experimental research conducted according to one group pretest – posttest design. The sample of this research were grade 5 students from a medium-sized school in Loom Nam Mong school group under Udon thani primary education service area office 4, academic year 2024. The sample consisted of 18 students the sampling unit was the classroom from cluster random sampling. The instruments of this research were: 1) the predict – observe – explain learning approach supplemented with learning log 5 lesson plan on change in substances and 2) the conceptual understanding test of change in substances. The statistical data were analyzed used mean, percentage, standard deviation, hypothesis testing used t-test for dependent sample. The results of research revealed that the post-test score was significantly higher than the pre-test score at the .01 level.
