Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to compare the reading comprehension before and after learning, 2) to compare the reading comprehension after learning with the criteria 70% of the total score, and 3) to study of the attitudes towards learning Thai subject. The sample group used in the research          was 32 Prathomsuksa 6/2 students at the Demonstration School of Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University.                        The research instruments in this research were 1) the lesson plans with the most appropriate quality level (𝑥̅=4.93, S.D.=0.24) 2) The reading comprehension test with the validity between 0.67–1.00, the difficulty between 0.25–0.65, the discrimination between 0.58–0.85, and the reliability at 0.70 3) the attitudes towards learning Thai subject test with the validity between 0.67–1.00, the discrimination between 0.78–7.13, and the reliability at 0.93. The statistics for data analysis were mean, standard deviation, t-test. The research findings were as follows:

            1) The students had the reading comprehension ability before learning equals 16.00, standard deviation equals 4.68, the reading comprehension ability after learning equals 22.50, standard deviation equals 1.70. The comparison of reading comprehension ability between before and after learning were found that the reading comprehension ability after learning than before learning is statistically significant at the .05 level. 2) The students had the reading comprehension ability after learning equals 22.50, standard deviation equals 1.70. The comparison of reading comprehension ability between after learning and the criteria 70 % of full score was found that the students had reading comprehension ability after learning higher than the criteria 70 % of full score statistically significant at the .05 level. And 3) The students were received the learning management by the SQ4R technique with graphic organizers had the attitude at the highest level with the mean as 4.59 and standard deviation as 0.49.
