การส่งเสริมทักษะกระบวนการทางวิทยาศาสตร์ของเด็กปฐมวัย โดยการจัดกิจกรรมวิทยาศาสตร์นอกห้องเรียน

Abstract

This independent study had three objectives were to 1) design experience learning using science activities outside classroom for early childhood children, 2) enhance early childhood children’s scientific process skills by using outside classroom science activities, and 3) study early childhood children’s learning achievement after learning through outside classroom science activities. The target group used in this study were 10 children aged between 4-6 years old, which was multi-age classroom at Pang Num Thu School, Pa Miang Sub District, Doi Saket District, Chiang Mai Province in first semester in the academic of 2022. The instrument used in this study were 1) early childhood experience learning using science activities outside classroom quality assessment, 2) early childhood children scientific process skills assessment, and 3) early childhood children achievement assessment after learning through science activities outside classroom. Data was analyzed by computing percentage then compared with set criteria of 70.00% for scientific process skills and 80.00 % for learning achievement. The data were presented through table with description. The result found that: 1. There were four units of experience learning plans using science activities outside classroom for early childhood children, which were unit 1- Enjoy rainy season, unit 2- miracle of water, unit 3- essence of colors, unit 4- Lovely tree. Each unit consisted of 5 lesson plans with the

total of 20 lesson plans. Science activities outside classroom lesson plans were suitable to enhance scientific process skills of early childhood children. 2. All early childhood children who learned through science activities outside classroom earned the score of scientific process skills higher than the set criteria of 70.00 %. 3. All early childhood children who learned through science activities outside classroom earned achievement score higher than the set criteria of 80.00%.
