Abstract

The study focuses on developing a tense teaching technique using TAVo (Time, Action, and Voice) for Grade 10 students at Wat Phrasrimahadhat Secondary Demonstration School, Phranakhon Rajabhat University. 2) to evaluate the effectiveness of the TAVo teaching technique in meeting the 80/80 criteria. The study group consisted of grade 10 students, with 135 students in total. The experimental design is a one-group posttest-only design, utilizing the research and development (R&D) methodology. The research instruments were 1) an achievement test 2) measurement of satisfaction with the Tense Teaching Technique by TAVo. The statistics used in the data analysis were descriptive statistics and efficiency evaluations.

The results indicated that the tense teaching technique by TAVo consists of 3 steps: (1) tense meaning, (2) understanding of tense by TAVo, and (3) application of tense by TAVo, including tense structure, sentence synthesis, and tense analysis. 2) The results of the efficiency of the tense teaching technique by TAVo were effective, with E1/E2 equal to 87.77/80.91, higher than the specified criteria of 80/80, and satisfaction with learning by using the tense teaching technique by TAVo was at a high level, as the mean score was 4.26 and the standard deviation (S.D.) was 0.70 at the statistically significant level of 0.01.
