THE EFFECT OF USING BOARD GAMES IN THE GEOGRAPHIC PROCESS ON THE GEOGRAPHIC ABILITY OF PRATHOMSUKSA 6 STUDENTS

Abstract

This research has the objective as following, to compare the effects of using a board game in the geographic process on the geographic ability of Prathomsuksa 6 students with learning management using normal geographic process. The sample group in this research is Prathomsuksa 6 students, semester 2 of 2023, a school in the Chum Chang Ban Phue school, 50 people, organized into 2 classrooms, 25 people, 1 experimental group, and 1 control group, which derived from simple Random Sampling. This research design is a Pre-test post-test Control Group design. The research tools include is geographic ability tests. IOC = 0.60 - 1.00, reliability = 0.97, R = 0.46 - 0.69 and P = 0.67 – 0.78. Statistics used in data analysis include percentage, mean, and standard deviation. t-test (dependent Samples) and t-test (independent Samples). The research findings of the study were as follows: Geographic ability scores of Prathomsuksa 6 students who received learning using board game in the geographic process. And which are learned through normal geographic processes Students have an average score of geographic ability. After studying, it was significantly higher than before studying at 0.05. And when comparing the geographic ability development scores, it was found that the organized group learned using a game board in the geographic process. The average development score was higher than the group that received learning with normal geographic processes. Statistically significant at 0.05.
