Abstract

This research aimed to compare 1) the learning achievement of the experimental group of Secondary 3 (Grade 9) students of Nawaminthrachinuthit Horwang Nonthaburi School in the dramatic arts course named "Farmers’ Dance" before and after using Simpson's teaching model, and 2) the learning achievement in skills of Secondary 3 (Grade 9) students of Nawaminthrachinuthit Horwang Nonthaburi School in the dramatic arts course named "Farmers’ Dance" between the experimental group – using Simpson's teaching model and the control group – using traditional teaching method. The samples consisted of 64 Secondary 3 (Grade 9) students from two classes    of Nawaminthrachinuthit Horwang Nonthaburi School in the 2nd semester, academic    year 2020. The students were divided into the experimental group including 32 students and the control group including 32 students. The research instruments were 6 Farmers' Dance lesson plans based on Simpson’s teaching model, 20-item multiple choice tests, and skill assessment forms. The data were analyzed using frequency distribution, mean, standard deviation, and the comparative statistics comprised Dependent Samples t - test and Independent Samples t - test.

The research results revealed that: 1) the learning achievement of the experimental group in the dramatic arts course named "Farmers’ Dance" after using Simpson's teaching model was higher than before learning at the significance level of .05. 2) The learning achievement in skills of the experimental group, using Simpson’s teaching model, was higher than the control group, using traditional teaching method   at the significance level of .05.
