The Results of the Mathematical Learning Management of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division of Counts by Fourth-grade Students Using TGT Techniques

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) develop the effectiveness of mathematics lesson plans using the TGT cooperative learning technique to meet the 70/70 criterion, 2) compare students’ mathematics learning achievement before and after using the TGT technique, and 3) study students' satisfaction with mathematics learning through the TGT technique. The sample consisted of 16 fourth-grade students from Chiang Rai Province, during the first semester of the 2022 academic year. The sampling group was selected using purposive sampling. The research tools included 1) lesson plans based on the TGT technique, 2) a mathematics achievement test, and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire. Statistical analysis employed means, standard deviations, and t-tests for dependent samples. The results 1) the mathematics lesson plans on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers using the TGT technique achieved an effectiveness score of 72.81/74.38, surpassing the set criterion of 70/70, 2) students’ post-learning achievement was significantly higher than their pre-learning achievement at the .05 level, and 3) students’ satisfaction with learning mathematics through the TGT technique was at a high level. The research findings indicate that the TGT cooperative learning technique is an effective tool for improving mathematics learning outcomes and enhancing students’ satisfaction.
