The Development of Technology Learning Activities using The 7-Step Leaning Cycle Model Thai Promotes Creativity in The Subject of Computational Science for Mathayomsuksa 4

Abstract

This study aimed to (1) develop technology learning activities using the 7-step learning cycle model to promote creativity in the subject of Computational Science for Grade 10 students, (2) improve students’ learning achievement so that at least 70% of the learners achieved a score of 70% or higher, and (3) examine students’ technological creativity after participating in the developed learning activities. The research instruments included: (1) twelve 1-hour learning activity plans, (2) observation forms, reflection records, and formative tests, and (3) a learning achievement test and a technological creativity assessment. Data were analyzed using mean, percentage, and standard deviation.

The findings revealed that the learning activities based on the 7-step cycle-elicitation, engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, evaluation, and extension-effectively enhanced both learning achievement and creativity. The average learning achievement score was 72.22%, with 71.43% of students meeting the specified criteria. The average creativity scores in fluency, flexibility, and originality were 3.07, 2.09, and 2.07, corresponding to 76.79%, 52.38%, and 51.79%, respectively.
