| Popis: | This study aimed to examine scientific thinking of the learners who learning with the knowledge construction model enhancing scientific thinking. The target group consisted of 50 students who were studying in grade sixth during the second semester of 2008 academic year at Demonstration school of Khon Kaen University (Mordindeang), neno annThailand. The research design was the Developmental Research Type II ( Richey and Klein, 2007 ) which emphasized on the study of the process of design and model development: the document analysis: to examine and analyze principles, theories and related research, the study of the contexts, the synthesis of framework of designing model, the design and the development of the model and the model efficiency examination. The results shown 11 elements of the model which were: 1) Problem Base, 2) Resources, 3) Collaboration, 4) Coaching, 5) Scaffolding, 6) Science Clinic, 7) Cognitive Tools, 8) Thai Local Wisdom Room, 9) Scientific Thinking Room, 10) Science Laboratory, and 11) Scientific Thinking Practice Room. Additionally, qualitative approach was applied to analyze the data. Protocol analysis, analytic description and interpretation were employed. The results revealed that: the learners’ scientific thinking was found 4 aspects of abilities: 1) inquiry, 2) analysis, 3) inference, and 4) argument. |
