The Development of Reading Ability in Different Spelling Consonant Rules Using CIRC Technique of Grade 3 Students

Abstract

This research article aims to 1) compare grade 3 primary students' reading skill on two Thai word-ending protocols "Mae Kot" and "Mae Kop" before and after the implementation of CIRC technique, and 2) study the students' satisfaction towards learning through CIRC technique. The sample group consisted of 40 grade 3 primary students who were studying in the first semester of the academic year 2022 at a public school in Nakhon Sawan Province. These samples were selected using a cluster random sampling method. The instruments used in the study included 1) four lesson plans for the selected Thai language subject, 2) a 4-choice reading test with 40 questions, and 3) a satisfaction survey form. The statistics used in the analysis included mean, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent samples. The results showed that the students' reading ability on two word-ending protocols was higher after the implementation of CIRC technique with the statistical significance level at .01 and the students were satisfied with the use of CIRC technique in the highest level (=4.76, S.D. 0.48)
