Abstract

          This research aims to 1) develop a science learning plan to develop life skills of vocational certificate students (Vocational Certificate 1) in Electrical Engineering. 2) compare the academic achievement of students between groups using research-based learning management and regular learning. 3) study the satisfaction of students with research-based learning management. This is a quantitative research. The sample group is 40 vocational certificate students (Vocational Certificate 1) in Electrical Engineering, Phitsanulok Technical College. The selection method is simple random sampling, using learning groups as the sampling unit. There are 2 types of research instruments:
1) test, 2) questionnaire. Data analysis is done using mean
(equation ), standard deviation (S.D.), and t-test Independent. The results of the research are as follows

            1 The efficiency of the research-based learning plan for Science to develop life skills is 86.18/83.32 overall.

  1. The academic achievement of students in the subject Science for Life Skills Development, Code 20000-1301, who studied using a research-based teaching plan after studying was significantly higher than before studying, at a statistical level of 0.05.
  2. Students' satisfaction with the research-based learning management, Science for Life Skills Development, Code 20000-1301, overall was at a high level (equation = 4.38, S.D. = 0.46).

         Knowledge/discovery from this research

  1. Before teaching using research as a base, teachers must study and analyze the curriculum, subject objectives, subject competencies, and subject descriptions to be taught for understanding.
  2. Teachers should study media and innovations in teaching using research as a base to understand the weaknesses and strengths of research in order to provide good suggestions to students.
