The Results of A Series of Local Weaving Learning Activities In Developing the Scientific Process Skills of Karen Students

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the results of a series of local weaving learning
activities in developing the scientific process skills of Karen students. The population of this study
included 22 students studying in Grade 5 in the second semester of the Academic Year 2020 at
Ban Thung Kae School. The research instruments were questionnaires on the local wisdom of
local weaving of Karen tribe in Mae Chaem distrct, Chiang Mai province , a series of local weaving
learning activities borne out of the analysis of sciencetific knowledge in local weaving , lesson
plans to develop the sciencetific process skills of local weaving and the tests to evaluate the
sciencetific process skills of local weaving. The study was conducted by using the results of
interviews with local wisdom on Karen weaving fabrics to analyze the knowledge, science and
scientific process skills in local weaving. Create a series of learning activities about local weaving.
Prepare a learning management plan to develop scientific process skills on local weaving,
including teaching with activity sets. And prepare a test to measure the scientific process skills on
local weaving. The tools were used for testing with sample students. To develop tools to be
effective. Used to develop the scientific process skills of the Karen students and the student
population taught in Supplemetary Science course.
The results of the research were as follows: When the student population learned with a
series of local weaving learning activities, the post-study science process skill score was higher
than before. The post-study score was 80.15% and the pre-school score was 47.26%. A Series of
Local Weaving Learning Activities was able to develop the scientific process skills of the Karen
students at a statistical significance level of .05.
