Development of Problem-Solving Abilities in Science by Inquiry-Based Learning With Cooperative Learning for Grade 4 Students

Abstract

Considering problem-solving ability as an important qualification in the 21st century that could be developed by instructional methods that allow learners to construct their knowledge via questioning through cooperative learning activities, we conducted action research with the purpose of investigating the effectiveness of inquiry-based and cooperative learning on grade 10 students’ problem-solving ability and studying students’ satisfaction with inquiry-based and cooperative learning in developing their problem-solving ability. The participants were 7 grade 4 students in the Thai educational context. They were selected from a class of 20 students using the results of a placement test. The instruments were a learning management plan designed using the integration of inquiry-based learning and cooperative learning, a problem-solving ability evaluation form, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The data was analyzed using the statistics of percentage, mean score, and standard deviation. The result shows that the integration of the two methods was beneficial in improving the problem-solving skills of the majority of the participants. Participants were also satisfied with learning management throughout the semester it was implemented.

Development of academic achievements using inquiry-based learning together with educational games

“…The students sought knowledge by themselves with an average score was 4.77, and the students were happy in their studies with an average score of 4.77 and found that students were least satisfied with the content in the lesson is a sequence of steps and easy-to-understand with an average score of 4.15. This is a result of the researcher having organized activities that allow students to study, research, and exchange ideas, as well as encouraging students to learn from real problem situations, which satisfied the students at the level of agreement [41], [42].…”

Problem-solving skills of high school students in chemistry

“…A solution with a dissociation percentage of 100%, pH = 11.25, volume 45 cm 3 of metal with atomic number 55 as element, was titrated with the HF solution with a dissociation constant of 6.6 × 10 -4 and pH = 5.87, volume 55 cm 3 2. Two researchers evaluate the phase of implementing the specified approach Application strategy f % The correct approach, the right answer 56 63 The correct approach, the wrong answer 33 37 The erroneous approach, the right answer 0 0 The erroneous approach, the wrong answer 0 0…”

“…Finding a workable solution or a way to the desired outcome involves systematic observation and critical analysis as part of the problem-solving process. Problem-solving is the process of learning information and the ability to assist the country's government by interfering with a set of procedures and objectives when the answer is unknown, unfamiliar, or reaches a new state of aim [2], [3].…”

Peningkatan Hasil Belajar Matematika Siswa Sd Melalui Penerapan Model Kooperatif Tipe Index Card Match

“…Konsep utama pembelajaran kooperatif adalah kerjasama yang ketika individu bekerja sama dalam kelompok untuk mempromosikan baik hasil belajar individu maupun kelompok (Odehova et al, 2022). Siswa memiliki kemampuan untuk berinteraksi dengan teman sekelas, menyampaikan dan mempertahankan gagasan, berbagi perspektif yang berbeda, dan mempertanyakan kerangka kerja konseptual di kelas (Sukontawaree et al, 2022).…”
