Development of a Reading Activity package using Brain Based Learning for Spelling of Thai Words, Learning Area of Thai Language for Prathomsuksa 1

Abstract

The purposes of this research were: to construct and examine the suitability of the development of reading activity package, to explore the efficiency of the reading activity package, to study student’s learning achievement of reading using the package to reading, and to study the students’ satisfaction on Thai word spelling of reading activity package. The samples were the students from Prathomsuksa1 at Areewattana school in the second semester of academic year 2018 using simple random sampling.

According to the reading activity package, it comprised four components as follows: Teachers’ manual, lesson plans which had the structure of reading activity package, Instructions Content and learning materials and Measurement and evaluation form which divided into 8 learning unit sand classified by section spelling. Each unit took 2 hours for learning. The results of this research were as follows: Overall the appropriate level of this reading activity package was at the highest level. The efficiency of reading activity package had the efficiency (E₁/E₂) at 82.21/82.44 which follow the standard criterion 80/80. The students’ learning achievement using brain based learning via reading activity package after learning achievement had higher than before learning at the statistical significant .01, and Overall the students’ satisfaction via reading activity package using brain based learning was at high level. The data were analyzed by using the reading achievement of students before and after By using the means And standard deviation. T-test for Dependent Samples and analyze student satisfaction levels by means () and standard deviation (SD). Mean values are defined according to criterion.
