The Use of Exercise Package to Develop the Reading Skill on Obscured Thai pelling Rules by Using the Stad Learning Technique for Prathomsuksa 2 Students at hesaban 1 Wat Prom Wihan School in Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai Province

Abstract

This study aimed 1) to develop and validate the efficiency of the exercise package for development of reading obscure Thai spelling rules by using the STAD learning technique, 2) to compare the learning achievements before and after the implementation of the exercise package for development of reading obscure Thai spelling rules by using the STAD learning technique, and 3) to examine the students’ satisfaction with the implementation of exercise package. The population was 104 Prathomsuksa 2 students. The samples were 34 students selected by applying the purposive sampling method from Prathomsuksa 2/3. The research instruments were 4 sets of the exercise package for development of reading obscure Thai spelling Rules and each set contained 8 practice sets, 4 units of the lesson plan and each unit contained 6 lessons, the achievement test (Pre-test–Post-test) included 40-word reading aloud test, 20-item multiple-choice and the 10-item students’ satisfaction questionnaire on the implementation of the exercise package for development of reading obscure Thai spelling rules. The results are summarized as follows.

1. The exercise package for development of reading obscure Thai spelling rules for Prathomsuksa 2 students indicated the efficiency scores (E1/E2) of 84.83/85.67, which were higher than the 80/80 standard criteria and confirmed the set hypothesis.


2. The learning achievement of the students after the implementation of the exercise package revealed that the posttest mean was at 18.26, accounting for 85.66%, which were higher than the set criteria and were statistically significant at .05.


3. The mean of the students’ satisfaction with the exercise package was at 2.60, which was at a high level.
