The Development of Critical Reading Ability of Mathayomsuksa 3 Students Taught by SQ4R Teaching Method.

Abstract

        The purposes of this research were to study : 1) develop critical reading ability of mathayomsuksa 3 students taught by SQ4R teaching method of pretest and posttest, and 2) study mathayomsuksa 3 students’ opinions towards learning taught by SQ4R teaching method. research methodology is The pre-experimental design was one group pretest-posttest design, population was mathayomsuksa 3 students of Rachineeburana School in Nakornpathom in second semester of 2016. sample size were 46 mathayomsuksa 3 students of Rachineeburana School in Nakornpathom. sampling method is Simple Random Sampling the research instruments were lesson plan of the critical reading ability of mathayomsuksa 3 students taught by SQ4R teaching method, comprehensive test for critical reading ability of mathayomsuksa 3 students taught by SQ4R teaching method and a questionare for mathayomsuksa 3 students taught by SQ4R teaching method The data were analyzed by used IOC, dificulty, reliability, pretest-posttest of critical reading ability and mathayomsuksa 3 students’ opinions towards learning taught by SQ4R teaching method. The statistics used in data analysis by mean (x), standard deviation (s.d.) and t-test dependent.
           The results were as follows: 
          1.The posttest critical reading ability of mathayomsuksa 3 students taught by SQ4R teaching method was higher than the pretest, there was statistically signiicant at .05 level.
          2.The mathayomsuksa 3 students’ opinions towards learning taught by SQ4R teaching method were at high level.
