Abstract

The objectives of the research were 1) to compare the analytical thinking ability of the 6^th grade students before and after learning by using leaning management plans based on flipped classrooms, 2) to compare the learning achievement of the 6^th grade students learning by using learning management plans based on flipped classrooms between before and after learning, and 3) to study the satisfaction of the 6^th grade students learning by using learning management plans based on flipped classrooms. The samples used in the research were 38 students studying in the 6^th grade in the room 6/1 in the second semester in the academic year of 2021 at Anuban Trakanphuetphon School.
