The Effect of Using a Guidance Activities Package together with Pakagyo Way Wisdom to Develop Responsibility of Grades 4-6 Students at Ban Huay Nam Sai School in Mae Hong Son Province

Abstract

The objectives of this research were twofold. First, to  compare the levels of responsibility of the students in the experimental group before and after using a guidance activities package together with Pakagyo way wisdom, aimed at developing responsibility. Second, to compare the level of responsibility of the experimental group students, who used the guidance activities package with Pakagyo way wisdom, with the level of the control group students who underwent normal guidance activities. The research sample comprised 20 students from Grades 4-6 at Ban Huay Nam Sai School in Mae Hong Son Province during the second semester of the 2021 academic year. These students voluntarily participated in the experiment and were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group, with 10 students in each group. The research utilized two main instruments: a scale to assess responsibility with a reliability coefficient of .92, and a guidance activities package along with Pakagyo way wisdom. The data analysis employed various statistical measures, including mean, standard deviation, and significance tests (Wilcoxon sign-ranks test and Mann-Whitney U test).

The research findings revealed two key points. Firstly, after using the guidance activities package, the responsibility level of the experimental group students showed a significant increase at a significance level of .05. Secondly, the post-experiment responsibility level of the experimental group students who used the guidance activities package with Pakagyo way wisdom was significantly higher than the post-experiment responsibility level of the control group students who underwent normal guidance activities, again at a significance level of .05.
