THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE LEARNING ACTIVITY SETS BASED ON THE GAME-BASED LEARNING AND 5W1H METHOD INSTRUCTIONAL APPROACH ON THE TOPIC OF NATURE AND ENVIRONMENT FOR UPPER PRIMARY STUDENTS

Abstract

This research aims to: 1) develop and analyze the effectiveness of the science learning activity sets based on the Game-based Learning and 5W1H Method instructional approach on the topic of Nature and Environment for upper primary students, aiming for an efficiency standard of 80/80. 2) investigate the learning achievement of students using the science learning activity sets. 3) examine the learning skills (e.g., communication, collaboration) of students through the application of the science learning activity sets. And 4) study the students' satisfaction with the instruction delivered through the science learning activity sets. The sample group were 69 Grade 5 students from 6 participating schools in 1^st semester of the academic year 2025, selected from a total of 114 students across 6 participating schools. They were selected by purposive sampling. Research tools include a Game-based Learning and 5W1H Method learning activity sets, an achievement test, a learning skills assessment, and a satisfaction Assessment Form. Data analysis and data present E₁/E₂, Mean, Standard deviation, and Development Gain Scores. The results showed that: 1) the learning activity sets achieved an effectiveness of 81.86/83.83, which exceeded the set criteria, 2) the post-learning achievement was significantly higher than the pre-learning achievement, with a high development level. 3) the post-learning skills were significantly higher than the pre-learning skills, with the highest development in collaboration, and communication. and 4) the overall satisfaction with the learning activities sets was at the highest level (  = 4.73, S.D. = 0.45)
