Abstract
The study aimed to 1) develop an integrated learning unit entitled "Visiting Amnat Charoen Community”, 2) assess students’ communication competency levels, 3) compare their post-learning competency with a 75% benchmark, and 4) evaluate their satisfaction with the learning unit. The sample comprised 37 students from grades 4 - 6 students at Ban Bok School, selected through cluster random sampling during the second semester of the 2024 academic year. Research instruments included 1) the complete integrated learning unit "Visiting Amnat Charoen Community" ( = 4.72, IOC: 0.80–1.00), 2) seven lesson plans spanning 14 instructional hours (
= 4.80, IOC: 0.80–1.00), 3) communication competency test item difficulty: 0.44–0.73, discrimination index: 0.38–0.82, IOC: 0.60–1.00), and 4) a satisfaction questionnaire (IOC: 0.80–1.00). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including means, percentage, standard deviation, and a One sample t-test.
The results showed that 1) the developed integrated learning unit consisted of seven components: (1) unit title, (2) background and significance, (3) learning integration, (4) objectives, (5) learning outcomes, (6) learning activities, and (7) assessment, 2) post-intervention communication competency was excellent (89.16%), 3) Communication scores significantly exceeded the 75% benchmark (p < 0.05) and 4) student satisfaction reached the highest level ( = 4.57, SD = 0.18).
