The Development of Instructional Model to Enhanced Analytical Thinking skills for Higher Education Student of Industrial Technology

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to develop the learning model to enhanced critical thinking skills for higher education student of industrial technology and 2) to evaluate the accordance of the developed learning model based on analytical thinking. The research instruments consisted of the PIAEC Model Assessment form of learning style analytical thinking, Assessment form for consistency of learning styles, analytical thinking . Data were analyzed by mean and standard deviation, the quality of developed instructional model was evaluated by 8 experts. The research results were as follows: 1) the learning model to enhanced analytical thinking skills for higher education student of industrial technology consists of 5 steps: Problem setting (P), Inquiry (I), Analysis (A), Experiment (E) and Conclusion(C). 2) the concordance to enhanced analytical thinking skills of the developed PIAEC learning model was at a highest level (mean = 4.53). Therefore, the developed learning model to enhanced analytical thinking skills can be used effectively in the teaching of industrial technology education for higher education.
