Abstract
—This research is an experimental research. The
purposes of the research were to: 1 develop learning management
of STEM education combined with project base learning and
engineering design process for secondary 2 )grade 8( students 2)
compare science skills of secondary 2 (grade 8) students before
and after traditional learning management, 3) compare science
skills of secondary 2 (grade 8) students before and after learning
management according to STEM education through the
combination of project base learning and engineering design
process 4) compare science skills of secondary 2 (grade 8)
students after study by learning management according to STEM
education through the combination of project base learning and
engineering design process and traditional learning management.
Research sample was 60 of secondary 2 (grade 8) students in the
first semester of the academic year 2020 studying at Sakaeo
School, Sakaeo province, Thailand selected by cluster random
sampling. The research instruments consisted of lesson plans and
science skills tests. In the experiment, a GIGO interlocking
plastic bricks was employed to the learning management
according to STEM education through the combination of
project base learning and engineering design process to help
students learn happily while studying and to be able to perform
various activities effectively. The data were analyzed by mean,
standard deviation, and T-test Independent and Dependent. The
results revealed that 1) the development of learning management
through the combination of STEM education combined with
project base learning and engineering design process consisted of
6 steps (DIP)2 : Defined Problem (D), Related Information Search
(I), Plan and Solution Design (P), Do and Development (D),
Testing, Evaluation and Design Improvement (I) and
Presentation (P) 2( science skills of secondary 2 (grade 8) students
after learning by traditional learning management was higher
than the before learning at the statistical significance level of .05,
3) science skills of secondary 2 (grade 8) students after learning
by learning management according to STEM education through
the combination of project base learning and engineering design
process was higher than the before learning at the statistical
significance level of .05, and 4( science skills of secondary 2
(grade 8) students was higher than those who studied through the
traditional learning management at the statistical significance
level of .05.
