Abstract
— The purposes of this study were 1) to study the
achievement and the efficiency of instructional activities on
calculus for high school level by using a TI Nspire CX CAS
graphing calculator and 2) to study students’ satisfaction toward
workshop learning with instructional activities on calculus for
high school level. The samples of this study were 16 students of
the second and third-year who were studying Bachelor of Science
and Bachelor of Education (Mathematics) in semester 3/2017,
Mathematics Department, Faculty of Sciences, Srinakharinwirot
University. The result of the study indicated that students had
educational efficiency to pass the criteria more than 60 percent of
the total students with a statistical significance level of .05. The
effectiveness (efficiency of process (E1)/efficiency of product (E2))
of the instructional activities on calculus for high school level by
using a TI Nspire CX CAS graphing calculator equal to
87.65/78.23. The students’ satisfaction toward instructional
activities on calculus for high school level by using a TI Nspire
CX CAS graphing calculator was at a high level.
