Abstract
The purposes of this research were to compare pretest and posttest learning achievement using STEM education with project-based learning: and to investigate students’ working process, attitudes and satisfaction toward agriculture subject. In total, 18 eleventh grade students of Tepleela School were respondents of this study. One group pretest-posttest design was used as the research method. Research tools consisted 15 lesson plans, 80 multiple-choice test items, a working process evaluation form and an attitudes test toward agriculture subject. Statistics such as percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-test were used for data analysis. Results showed the posttest means of learning achievement were statistically higher than the pretest means at .05 level. The student’s working process revealed at very good level (=111.44, S.D.=3.34), The students’ attitude were good level (
=4.50, S.D.=0.11), whilst their satisfactions were at highest level (
=4.63, S.D.=0.61). The learning achievement was reflected in the integration of STEM education with the project to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate solutions for higher efficiency. Including skills and work processes from planning, working systematically, moreover they were practicing by doing to acquire additional knowledge in their own interest with group activities. Therefore, students have good skills and attitudes towards working together.
