The Use of Active Learning Concept for Developing a Learning Management Model to Improve Academic Achievement of Prathomsuksa 4 Students under the Department of Social Studies, Religions and Cultures

Abstract

With the help of an active learning concept to develop academic achievement of the Prathomsuksa 4 students under the department of social studies, religions and cultures, the research had three objectives: 1) to establish and verify the quality of the learning model, 2) to experiment and study the results of using the learning management model, and 3) to assess the effectiveness of the learning model and the manual for the learning management model. The research methodology was divided into three steps: 1) Creation and examination of the quality of the learning management model, 2) Experiment and study of an effect of using the learning management model, and 3) Evaluating the effectiveness of the model and manual for the learning management model. The samples were ten students selected from the Prathomsuksa 4 students in the second semester of the academic year 2020 at Sakngamprachasan School (Kasetsart Anusorn 37) by using a purposive sampling technique. The research tools were 1) the learning management model, 2) the manual for the learning management model, 3) the learning achievement test, and 4) the model's effectiveness assessment form and the manual for the learning management model, with one group pretest-posttest design. The data were collected and analyzed using a percentage and a T-test (t-test dependent). The results were as follows: 1. The learning management model consisted of five components: principles, objectives, content, learning activities, and measurement and evaluation of these learning activities according to six steps of the SEAACE Model: stimulus, experience, activities, application, conclusion, and evaluation. Based on the quality examination of the learning management model and the manual for the learning management model, the assessment results possessed the suitability and feasibility at the highest level. 2. The results of experiment and the study of results of experiment using the learning management model were at a high level and were statistically significant at 0.05 level. 3. The results of evaluating the effectiveness of the model and the manual for the learning management model possessed an accuracy, appropriateness, usefulness and possibility as a whole at the highest level.
