Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to develop analytical Thai reading skills through the SQR4 learning activities for 30 students in the 9th grade students with an efficiency of 80/80 ; 2) to compare the results of using of the SQ4R learning activities with 30 the 9th grade students using analytical Thai reading skills of the same students before and after; and (3) to study the satisfaction of the third-year secondary school students regarding the SQ4R learning activities. The sample consisted of 30 the 9th grade students, obtained using the cluster random sampling. Technique, who were studied in the second semester of academic year 2023 at Wat Klang School Under Khon Kaen Municipality, Khon Khan Province.
