Abstract
The purposes of this research were: 1) to investigate the efficiency of science lesson plans on the topic of genetics for grade 9 students by using 4MAT learning management and Vee diagram learning management according to the efficient criteria of 80/80, 2) to compare grade 9 students’ learning achievement between groups taught by 4MAT learning management and Vee diagram learning management, and 3) to compare grade 9 students’ analytical thinking abilities between groups taught by 4MAT learning management and Vee diagram learning management. The samples of this study were 84 grade 9 students who enrolled in the first semester of 2018 academic year at an extra large secondary school in Bangkok. These students were randomly selected by cluster random sampling method and divided into 2 groups. The research instruments consisted of 1) 4MAT lesson plans, 2) Vee diagram lesson plans, 3) a learning achievement test with item difficulty ranging from 0.33 to 0.61, item discrimination ranging from 0.22 to 0.56, and reliability of 0.94, and 4) an analytical thinking ability test with item difficulty ranging from 0.33 to 0.69, item discrimination ranging from 0.22 to 0.66, and reliability of 0.96. The data were analyzed by means, standard deviation, t-test for independent samples.
The results of this study revealed as follow: 1) the efficiency (E1/E2) of lesson plans with 4MAT learning management and Vee diagram learning management indicated an efficiency of 86.82/83.47 and 85.25/81.10 respectively, which were higher than the criteria of 80/80, 2) there was no statistically significant difference in students’ learning achievement between group taught by 4MAT learning management and group taught by Vee diagram learning management, and 3) there was no statistically significant difference in students’ analytical thinking abilities between group taught by 4MAT learning management and group taught by Vee diagram learning management.
