Abstract

            The objective of this research was to 1) produce an Edutainment media format to enhance informal learning, 2) study the academic achievement of students studying with live libraries, and 3) investigate the students’ satisfaction before and after learning from the Edutainment media. The forms of edutainment media were obtained from the analysis of Thai and international research papers. The model was assessed and certified by experts. The samples acquired by purposive random sampling were eight 3^rd grade early childhood and twelve 6^th grade students enrolled in Semester 2/2022. The research equipment included edutainment media and achievement test. The analysis tools were percentage, average, standard deviation, item difficulty (p) and discrimination index (r) and Paired-Samples t test. The results showed that: 1) the form of edutainment consisted of a pop-up slide cards making use of Thai language’s eight final consonant sound prototypes: /-ng/, /-p/, /-n/, /-m/, /-k/, /-t/, /-oe/, and /-oei/, 2) the effectiveness index of the produced edutainment had a performance index at 0.58, and 3) the students learning achievement of posttest scores was higher than the pretest at 0.01 levels. And the students’ satisfaction was found at a high level, with an average of 4.29.
