The Enhancement of Learning Inspiration by Strategic Life Planning Using AFTER model Assembly with Goodness Based Learning for the Lower Secondary Students in Buriram’s Private School

Abstract

This pre-experimental research aimed to compare the students’ learning Inspiration before, and after using AFTER model assembly with Goodness Based Learning (GBL) on the Strategic Life Planning lesson plans to enhance student’s learning inspiration, A one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted on 40 lower secondary students using a lesson plan with IOC = 0.80-1.00, high-level quality was implemented 1 period a week for 15 weeks. The Learning Inspiration Scales with IOC = 0.90-1.00 and Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient = .86 were utilized as instruments for data collection. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test were used for data analysis. The findings were as follows:

1. The AFTER Model & GBL on Strategic Life Planning lesson plans to enhance learning Inspiration for lower secondary students consisted of five main components: 1) attention, 2) forethought, 3) tactical planning, 4) execution, 5) reflection, which were integrated with the following practices of the Noble Eightfold Path: 1) right view, 2) right intention, 3) right speech, 4) right action, 5) right livelihood, 6) right effort, 7) right mindfulness, 8) right concentration as the base five steps of the AFTER Model.
2. The AFTER Model & GBL on Strategic Life Planning lesson plans affected the students’ learning inspiration through four components: 1) individual drive force, 2) environmental drive force, 3) creative thinking, 4) positive effect; it was found that the mean post-test scores for students’ inspiration increased after using the lesson plans, were higher than the mean pre-test scores at the .05 level of significance.
