Abstract
This research aimed to 1) investigate the needs and 2) develop an electronic youth literature book integrated with gamification-based learning management. The study employed a mixed-methods research design. The qualitative research component collected data through interviews with three upper secondary school Thai language teachers. The quantitative research component utilized questionnaires administered to 75 tenth-grade students at the Demonstration School of Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya Rajabhat University. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentage, mean (x̄), and standard deviation (S.D.).
The research findings revealed that teachers should utilize modern learning media that attract attention through age-appropriate literature, combined with learning management that applies gamification concepts to stimulate motivation and engagement in learning. Regarding content preferences, the top three genres ranked by students were informative stories (60.53%), fantasy tales (52.64%), and short stories about friendship (52.64%), respectively. The preferred assessment format was exercises, accounting for 43.43%.
The expert evaluation of the electronic youth literature book yielded an overall mean score at the highest level (x̄ = 4.52). The aspects of content accessibility and content quality received the highest mean scores of 4.74 and 4.72, respectively. The analytical reading lesson plan incorporating gamification concepts with the electronic book was also evaluated at the highest level, with an overall mean score of 4.64. Specifically, the learning process management, media and time allocation, and learning activities and assignments received mean scores of 4.80, 4.80, and 4.73, respectively. These results reflect the efficiency and appropriateness of the developed innovation for enhancing Thai language instruction at the secondary level.
