Effect of Learning Management According to STEM Education Through the Combination of Project Based Learning and Engineering Design Process on Science Subject of Secondary 2 (Grade 8) Students

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) study the level of scientific process skills of the secondary 2 (Grade 8) students, and 2) compare the scientific process skills on science subject of the secondary 2 (Grade 8) students after learning management according to STEM education through the combination of project-based learning and engineering design process with the 70 percent criteria. The research sample was 30 of the Secondary 2 (Grade 8) students, selected by cluster random sampling, studying in the semester 2, academic year 2020 of Sakaeo School, Sakaeo province. The research instruments consisted of learning management plans according to STEM education through the combination of project-based learning and engineering design process, and scientific process skills tests. Mean, Percentage, Standard Deviations, and T-test were used for data analysis. The research findings were as follows: 1) the scientific process skills of the secondary 2 (Grade 8) students was at a high level, and 2)  the scientific process skills of the secondary 2 (Grade 8) students after learning management according to STEM education through the combination of project based learning and engineering design process was higher than the 70 percent criteria  statistically significant difference at .05 level.
