The Development of English Vocabulary Memorization of Prathomsuksa 1 Students by Total Physical Response Method

Abstract

The purpose of this research was 1) to compare achievement of English vocabulary memorization ability about First Day at School by using Total Physical Response Method of Prathomsueksa 1 students between pre-learning and post-learning and 2) to compare achievement of English vocabulary memorization ability about First Day at School by using Total Physical Response Method of Prathomsueksa 1 students between post-learning with 70 percentage of criteria. The sample group in this research was 24 students of Prathomsueksa 1/6 who were studied in English subject of 2020 academic year, Sunthornwattana School under the Office of Chaiyaphum Primary Educational Service Area 1, Amphoe Muang Chaiyaphum, Chaiyaphum Province. The research tools were 1) the 1^st lesson plans about First Day at School and 2) learning achievement test which had content validity and Index  of  Item – Objective  Congruence (IOC) from the experts to calculate IOC, the criteria from 0.5 and above, total 30 items, including obtained score from the test were analyzed for each item to analyze level of difficulty (p) from 0.20-0.80 and power of discriminant (r) from 0.20-1.00 to find reliability coefficient of the learning achievement test by using KR-20 formula of Kuder-Richardson was 0.89 totally. The statistics was analyzed data as follows; mean (x̄), percentage (%), standard deviation (S.D.), t-test for Dependent Group and t-test for One Sample.

The result found that; 1) The achievement of English vocabulary memorization ability about First Day at School by using Total Physical Response Method of Prathomsueksa 1 students post-learning was higher than pre-learning at statistical significance .05 level.  2) The achievement of English vocabulary memorization ability about First Day at School by using Total Physical Response Method of Prathomsueksa 1 students post-learning was higher than 70 percentage of criteria at statistical significance 0.05 level.
