THE STUDY OF ENGLISH ACHIEVEMENT OF GRADE 4 STUDENTS USING ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONAL MANAGEMENT BASED ON 2W3P MODEL WITH GAMIFICATION

Abstract

The purposes of this research article were 1) to compare the pre- and post- English learning achievement of grade 4 students who received the lessons based upon 2W3P model and gamification, and 2) to examine grade 4 students’ perspectives on learning management based upon 2W3P model and gamification. The samples in this study were 24 grade 4 students from a private school in Nonthaburi Province, who were studying in the second semester of the academic year 2022. These samples were selected using the Cluster Random Sampling method. The research instruments were 1) four learning management plans of a specified English course, 2) the multiple-choice English learning achievement tests, and 3) the interview forms designed to investigate the students’ perspectives towards learning management based upon 2W3P model and gamification. This study employed both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The statistics used in this study included mean, standard deviation, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and t-test for dependent samples. The results showed that 1) the English learning achievement of the students after the implementation of learning management based upon 2W3P model and gamification was higher than the pre-test results with the statistical significance level at .01, and 2) most students enjoyed and preferred the learning based upon 2W3P model and gamification since they could effectively enhance the English learning achievement.
