The Development Biology Authentic Learning of Mahasarakham University Demonstration School (Secondary). Thailand
The research study Development of Authentic Biology Learning Activities, Mahasarakham University Demonstration School (Secondary). The sample group consisted of 160 students in grade 10 students, Science-Mathematics major, 160 students, divided into experimental groups of 80 people and 80 control groups from purposive sampling. The instruments used in research is a set of authentic biology learning activities, the biology knowledge tests and attitude questionnaire. The research used experimental process (Quasi-experimental Design Research) Quasi-equivalent control group design. The results of comparative analysis of the average test results of biology knowledge Before and after learning of students in the experimental group It was found that before the students had an average score of 8.96 and the post-test results in the experimental group students had an average score increased to 12.98, with the average after learning scores increased significantly at the level of .05. The biology knowledge test before and after learning found that the students in the experimental group average score from the biology knowledge test after learning higher than students in the control group with statistical significance at the level of.05 and the results of attitudes towards the arrangement of authentic learning biology learning activities of grade 10 students in the experimental group found that in almost all questions, the average score of the score is greater than 4.51 Which is at the highest level and the overall average score is 4.74 which is at the highest level show that. The organizing of authentic learning activities in biology for grade 10 students, gives students a better understanding of the learning content with scores from higher knowledge tests therefore, is an effective way to organize learning activities for students that can be applied with other courses.
