A study of academic achievement in mathematics on the topic of sets through the STAD technique combined with the KWDL technique of grade 10 students

Abstract

This study aimed to: 1) investigate the academic achievement in mathematics on the topic of sets through the Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) cooperative learning technique combined with the Know-Want-Do-Learn (KWDL) technique of tenth grade students, compared to the 75% criterion; and 2) compare the academic achievement in mathematics on the topic of sets through the STAD cooperative learning technique combined with the KWDL technique before and after the implementation of the learning process for tenth grade students.

This research employed a pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample group consisted of 33 tenth-grade students from Chaturapakpimanratchadapisek School, selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included: (1) lesson plans, and (2) a learning achievement test. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and a t-test

The research findings revealed that: 1) The academic achievement in mathematics on the topic of sets, using the STAD cooperative learning technique combined with the KWDL technique, of tenth grade students was significantly higher than the 75% criterion at the .01 level. and 2) The academic achievement in mathematics on the topic of sets, using the STAD cooperative learning technique combined with the KWDL technique, after the learning process was significantly higher than before the learning process at the .01 level.
