Mathematical Learning Achievement of Patterns and Relations of Kindergarten 3 Students at Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University Demonstration School (Early Childhood ) with Inquiry-Based Learning Management

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study and compare the mathematical learning achievement, specifically in terms of patterns and relations, of kindergarten 3 students at Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University Demonstration School (Early Childhood ) who have received inquiry-based learning management. The research participants consisted of 14 male and female students aged 5 to 6 years old, enrolled in kindergarten 3, Semester 2, of the academic year 2023 at Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University Demonstration School, affiliated with Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University, located in Bangkok. The research instruments were mathematical learning achievement test in terms of patterns and relations and inquiry-based learning lesson plan. The research employed a one-group pre-test-post-test experimental design. The statistical analysis of the data included the calculation of the mean (), standard deviation (), and mean difference between scores of each pair ()
The results showed that the kindergarten 3 students who underwent inquiry-based learning exhibited significantly higher mathematical learning achievement in terms of patterns and relations, (=13.36) and performing at a very good level (=18.00, =0.00)
