The Effects of Counseling-Based Teaching Method on Physics Learning Achievements of Upper Secondary School Students: Focuses on Writing Down a Self-Note and Summarizing Techniques

This study investigated the effects of using the co unseling‐based teaching method on the physics learning achievements of the upper secondary school students . The counseling techniques: writing down a self ‐note, and summarizing were selected to design and construct c ounseling‐based lesson plans for teaching and assessing physi cs learning achievements of the thirty students partic ipating. Three types of research instruments were u sed: (1) the platform and exit tests assessing physics learning achievements before and after learning in each modu le, (2) the counseling‐based lesson plans and (3) the summative tests asse ssing physics learning achievement after using each lesson plan. Data analysis was in two parts: quanti tative data in arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and dependent sample t-test and qualitative data by content analy sis with two criteria: (1) the right understanding and misunderstanding in physics concepts shown by the s tudents, and (2) the full understanding of physics oncepts shown in the students’ completed tasks. The findings of t he study were:
