The Learning Achievement of Grade Seven Students on Landscape Painting Through 3D Paper Model

An effective teaching and learning management is to give students the optimum chance to participateand gain learning experience by themselves. A teacher’s role is the facilitator who arranges properlearning activities and materials on surrounding pictures. This research aims to study the learning achievementof Grade 7 students on landscape painting through 3D paper model and the learning method thatdoes not use 3D paper model. The samples in this study are 70 students of Grade 7 in the secondsemester of the academic year 2013 at Sarasas Witaed Nimitmai School, Klongsamwa, Bangkok. Clusterrandom sampling is used to select the population samples from 2 classes which have 35 studentseach. The experimental study is conducted by using 3D paper model for 12 weeks at 60 minutes. Theresearch tools are 3D paper model, pretest and posttest, and questionnaires on satisfaction in using 3Dpaper model. The researcher conducts the research in compliance with the experiment plan. The methodof data analysis is to find the average, standard deviation and t-test for dependent-samples.The research results are that the learning achievement of Grade 7 students learning landscape paintingthrough 3D paper model is improved at 0.01 statistically and significantlyand the satisfaction onlearning through 3D paper model is in the highest level
