Abstract

Nowadays, Scientific thinking is important in the development of human learning. Therefore, the designing framework synthesis is the objective of this study. To promote the scientific thinking of students. The target audience was (1) experts for the assessment of the learning content (2) experts for the assessment of the instructional design for the framework (3) experts for the assessment of the instructional media design. (4) experts for the assessment of the collecting research instruments and 5) 35 Grade 7 students, 1st semester, the academic year 2020, Sri Kranuan Wittayakhom School, studying in a science course for the contextual survey. Model research type II [15] was employed by literature review to synthesize the framework. The process was as follows: study the principles and theories, to literature reviews research related to the design of the learning environment model. Assessment by experts consisting of content, design, media, and technology, measurement, and evaluation by the assessment from the expert assessment form. The research results consisted of 4 steps: (1) Activation of cognitive structure and enhance scientific thinking (2) Enhancement of cognitive equilibrium and expanding cognitive structure (3) Support and enhancement of scientific thinking and (4) Enhancement and support of knowledge construct. Also, the model has 6 components of were: (1) Problem based, (2) Resources, (3) Collaboration, (4) Scientific thinking, (5) Scaffolding, and (6) Coaching.
