Abstract

The purposes of this research were to: 1) compare preschool children’s creative problem-solving of the experimental group before and after learning management based on the Buddhist Instructional Model, and 2) compare preschool children’s creative problem-solving after the experiment between the experimental group and the control group. The population in this research consisted of preschool children who attended kindergarten year 3 in the second semester of the academic year 2022 at schools in the educational quality network Traimitr Samphan Schools under Yasothon Primary Educational Service Area Office. Cluster random sampling was used to gather the samples to establish the experimental group and the control group, with 10 boys and girls in each group. The instruments used in this research were: 1) 32 learning management based on the Buddhist Instructional Model lesson plans, and 2) 20 items of a preschool children’s creative problem-solving test with a reliability of .92. The statistics used in the research were mean (), standard deviation (S.D.), and t-tests: t-test dependent samples and t-test independent samples.

The research results revealed that: 1) When comparing preschool children’s creative problem-solving of the experimental group after the experiment, the preschool children in the experimental group who were implemented with learning management based on the Buddhist Instructional Model had higher creative problem-solving than before the experiment with a statistical significance level of .05. 2) When comparing preschool children’s creative problem-solving after the experiment between the experimental group and the control group, the preschool children who were implemented with learning management based on the Buddhist Instructional Model in the experimental group had higher creative problem-solving than the control group with a statistical significance level of .05.
