P j t Description
i ti
A fter the analysis and interpretation
of the collected data it turns out that
data,
the students are extremely satisfied
with th i l
ith the implementation of robots and
t ti f b t d
artificial intelligence in Plastics course.

7. Engagement
• First I use robots in an activity in which the students can
participate like a game where robots carry plates in
different colors to the provided area.

8. Engagement
. Another teaching material is the machine that can
separate plastics from metal junk. Then I give them a
chance t discuss why plastics are so i
h to di h l ti important in
t ti
human’s daily life and what are the pros and cons of
using plastics.

9. Embedment
of robot
Technology
• After that, I start teaching them about robots technology.
They can enjoy assembling a simple robot and also learn
how it operates mechanically

10. Exploration
• I encourage them to explore more about plastics by
researching. Then,
researching Then together they can discuss and
choose an appropriate test method to find out more
about plastics general properties

11. Explanation
The students have to present their work by using Microsoft
PowerPoint and discuss the test results with their teacher and
peers. At this point, the students should reach the conclusion
about the definition, structure and properties of plastics

12. Elaboration
They can combine the fundamental knowledge about plastics with
the previous lesson about robots design and all the sample robots
to create their own robot for environmental protection

13. Elaboration
They also have to present their inspiration, the concept, their design
ideas and how they apply scientific principles into their working
process. I just want my students to enjoy learning about plastics in
Chemistry courses. From this activity, instead of just learning by
memorizing f t they can l
i i facts, th learn b applying k
by l i knowledge i class
l d in l
about plastics to analyzing and solving problems found in the
process of creating robots

14. Evaluation

15. The students can design their robots
however they like without any limitations.
They can put forward any ideas as long
as those ideas are on rational basis or
employ some of the scientific knowledge.
In order to build the robot for
environmental protection, they should be
able to explain and solve the problems by
using scientific p
g principles and some of the
p
synthesized knowledge or any other
relevant experience. When each group
presents their project, their peers should
participate in discussion, exchanging
opinions and evaluation.

16. Dr. Detchai Duangsang, our principal encourages
g g g
science teachers to learn about robots technology
so that we can apply the knowledge to our
teaching practice for science classes. By using
robots and artificial intelligence as teaching
materials, I believe that the students will
understand that the more you learn, the more they
will be prepared for the life in the 21st century. They
will be equipped for work, become independent
and become a dutiful citizen of the society.
Moreover, other teachers in the science
department help me tremendously in planning
planning,
designing and adjusting the Chemistry curriculum.
Also, the staff from Thai Teachers TV also help in
publicizing this teaching practice. I am certain that
this project can become an inspiration for other
Thai teachers to develop their teaching practice.

17. After comparing the students’ score
g
pre and post studying this course by using
dependent t-test, the correlation coefficient of
0.1 that is strongly statistically significant
suggests the success of this teaching practice.
practice
Moreover, from all of the 48 students in the
class, it turns out that they are extremely
satisfied with this course and the standard
deviation score for students’ satisfaction is 0.59
This teaching practice becomes
successful because it encourages the students
to be enthusiastic and it makes them feel more
engaged by using concrete samples to introduce
them to the course itself.The students can
express their opinions and creativity and
exchange them with their peers. Under the
teacher’s supervision, they have an opportunity
to develop their analytical skills and solve the
problems by themselves which will make them
progress and become more self-independent.
