Abstract

     The purpose of this research were 1) to develop teachers’ guidelines in learning management of sixth grade students to promote self-directed learning during the epidemic situation of the coronavirus disease 2019, 2) to study the teachers’ knowledge and the ability in managing learning to promote sixth grade students’ self-directed learning, and 3) to study the sixth grade students’ self-directed learning behavior. The population for the research included 2 groups. The first group contained 30 science teachers selected by multi-stage sampling. The second group included 300 sixth grade students, selected by the purposive sampling technique. The research instruments were: 1) a guideline for teacher’s learning management to promote sixth grade students’ self-directed learning in the epidemic situation of the coronavirus disease 2019, 2) a test evaluating teacher’s knowledge of promoting students’ self-directed learning, 3) a test evaluating teacher’s ability in promoting students’ self-directed learning, and 4) a learning behavior form of self-directed learning students. The statistics used to analyze data included mean, standard deviation, and t test.

     The results were as follows: 1) The teachers’ guidelines in learning management of sixth grade students to promote self-directed learning during the epidemic situation of the coronavirus disease 2019 consisted of Goal, Plan, Create, and Summarize, which were at a high level of appropriateness, with an average of 4.48, 2) The teacher's knowledge of learning management to promote self-directed learning significantly had a higher score, an average score of 21.23 before the experiment and that of 31.80 after the experiment. The teacher had an ability in managing the self-directed learning at a high level, with an average of 4.36, and 3) The sixth grade students’ self-directed learning behaviors were at a high level with an average of 4.38.
