Abstract
The purpose of this study was to enhance the mathematical connection ability of high school students in grade 11 through the STEM education activities. The participants using the study were 45 grade 11 students from sciences and mathematics program in Bangkok province, selected by using the cluster random sampling. The research instruments used in this study consisted of: 1) lesson plans that allowed students to learn the topic via STEM education activities, 2) the mathematical connection ability behavior observation form and 3) the mathematical connection ability interview form. The study findings revealed that students improve in mathematical connection ability after studying via the STEM education activities. Moreover, the mathematical connection ability component in which the students exhibited the highest behavior is the mathematical content connection.
