| Abstract | The purposes of the study were to develop critical thinking skills with 2(CPA) Model on the Climate Change Interdisciplinary Learning Unit for Lower Secondary Students. The research study was conducted through three stages including unit development, unit implementation, and unit evaluation. The 2(CPA) model, and the model for enhancing critical thinking skills, were used in this study. The revised unit was implemented in the class with the students from Banthongkha School, Phuket province. There were seventy 7th grade students in an experimental group (n=35) and a control group (n=35) in the second semester and the instruction was conducted within 24 learning periods. The assessment tool was the critical thinking skills test adapted from Cornell Critical Thinking Test. The data were analyzed by using mean and standard deviation. Research hypotheses were tested by t-test. The results of this research were as follows: 1.The students' critical thinking skills scores of the experimental group after using the unit were statistically higher than the students' critical thinking skills scores before using the unit in the same group. 2.The students' critical thinking skills scores after studying the climate change using the unit of the experimental group was significantly higher than the students' critical thinking skills scores after studying the climate change without using the unit of the control group. 3.Students who studied through 2(PCA) model on the climate change interdisciplinary learning unit had a degree of satisfaction at the highest level. |
