Abstract


This study aimed to investigate the impact of integrating Think-Pair-Share (TPS) and Search Solve Create Share (SSCS) techniques on the problem-solving skills of 10th-grade students within the framework of set theory, while also assessing participants' satisfaction with these methods. Conducted using a one-group experimental research design, the study involved 37 10th-grade students selected through cluster random sampling from a public school in Mahasarakham province, Thailand. Ethical considerations were meticulously observed throughout the study. Instruments utilized included a TPS and SSCS learning management plan, a Mathematics Set Problem Solving Ability Test, a Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Rubric Scoring. Data analysis employed percentage, mean score, standard deviation, and a one-sample t-test comparing to a predetermined criterion of 75% of the maximum score for each test. The results demonstrated that the integrated TPS and SSCS techniques were effective in developing students' problem-solving abilities and provided satisfying learning experiences. This underscores the efficacy of collaborative learning techniques, particularly in enhancing problem-solving skills. Additionally, the study highlights the potential of integrating various collaborative methods to achieve favorable outcomes in mathematics education.
