Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) study the current and desirable conditions, 2) create and develop, 3) implement, and 4) evaluate a history learning management model in the Social Studies, Religion, and Culture learning area to enhance analytical thinking for Mathayomsuksa 2 students. The sample consisted of 27 Mathayomsuksa 2 students from class 2/1 at Wiangsa-Ardpittayakhom School during the first semester of the 2024 academic year, selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included: 1) learning management plans, 2) an analytical thinking ability assessment, and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire. Results: 1) Analysis of the current learning management conditions revealed an overall low level, while the desirable conditions were at the highest level.2) The developed learning management model comprised five components: (1) Principles, (2) Objectives, (3) Learning management process consisting of six stages—Stage 1: Activate Prior Knowledge (A), Stage 2: Problem Situation (P), Stage 3: Action (A), Stage 4: Construction (C), Stage 5: Evaluation (E), and Stage 6: Feedback (F), collectively known as the APACEF Model, (4) Measurement and evaluation, and (5) Feedback. 3) Implementation results of the history learning management model for enhancing analytical thinking among Mathayomsuksa 2 students showed that (1) The model's efficiency was 81.71/80.75, with an effectiveness index of 0.7226. (2) The evaluation of learning management plans indicated the highest level of appropriateness. (3) Student satisfaction with the model was at the highest level. 4) The evaluation and validation of the model demonstrated the highest level of appropriateness.
