Development of Word Pronunciation Reading Skill Exercises by Using Brain-Based Learning Management Activities for the First-Grade Students

Abstract

The objectives of the research were 1) to develop word pronunciation reading skill exercises by using brain-based learning management activities for the first-grade students to have the efficiency according to the criterion of 80/80 and 2) to compare the ability of the word pronunciation reading skills by using brain-based learning management activities of the first-grade students. The samples used in the research were 30 students studying in the first grade, Room 1/5, in the second semester in the academic year of 2021, Education Office 8, Khueang Nai 1, at Khueang Nai Charoenrat School under Ubon Ratchathani Primary Educational Service Area Office 1. They were randomized by cluster sampling. The research instruments were 1) word pronunciation reading skill exercises by using brain-based learning management activities for the first-grade students, 2) a test used to evaluate the ability of the word pronunciation reading skills by using brain-based learning management activities for the first-grade students, and 3) learning management plans of Thai Learning Department by using brain-based learning management activities for the first-grade students. The statistics used to analyze data were percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The analysis of the difference between before and after learning was done by using dependent t-test. 

              The research findings were as follows.

1. The efficiency of the word pronunciation reading skill exercises by using brain-based learning management activities for the first-grade students developed by the researchers was 82.05/81.11.
2. The ability of the word pronunciation reading skills of the first-grade students by using brain-based learning management activities after learning was higher than that before learning with the statistical significance at the level of .05.
