THE EFFECTS OF LEARNING ACTIVITIES BASED ON THE CONCRETE – PICTORIAL - ABSTRACT APPROACH ON FRACTIONS FOR GRADE 6 STUDENTS

Abstract

This research aimed to study (1) determine the efficiency of learning management plans based on the Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract (CPA) approach on the topic of fractions for Grade 6 students according to the 70/70 standard. and (2) compare the mathematics learning achievement on the topic of fractions of Grade 6 students before and after the implementation of CPA-based learning activities. This research employed a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 11 Grade 6 students in the second semester of the 2024 academic year from a school in the Khong Phai Wang Ham Hae school network.. The participants were selected using cluster random sampling. The instruments used for data collection were eight learning management plans based on the CPA approach, which were rated at a high level of appropriateness, and a learning achievement test. Data were analyzed using basic statistics and inferential statistics. The research results were found as follows;

               1) The learning management plans based on the CPA technique on the topic of fractions for Grade 6 students had an efficiency index of 73.65/73.33, which met the 70/70 standard. 2) Grade 6 students who learned fractions through learning activities based on the Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract (CPA) approach achieved significantly higher post-test scores than pre-test scores at the .05 level. The mean post-test score was 22.09, with a standard deviation of 2.42.
