Abstract

This research aimed 1) to develop and determine the effectiveness of game-based learning management combined with skill exercises for Hmong ethnic Grade 1 students to meet the 80/80 efficiency criterion 2) to compare the reading and spelling skills of standard syllables among Grade 1 students before and after learning through game-based learning management combined with skill exercises; and 3) to examine the satisfaction of Hmong ethnic Grade 1 students toward the learning management. The study employed experimental research methods. The sample group consisted of 20 Grade 1 Hmong students from Ban Khek Noi School in the first semester of the 2025 academic year, selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included:

            1) lesson plans on reading and spelling standard syllables, 2) a test of reading and spelling skills, and 3) a student satisfaction questionnaire toward the learning management. Data were analyzed using the Mean, standard deviation, and dependent t-test. The findings revealed that the effectiveness of the game-based learning management for Grade 1 students was 80.00/80.00, meeting the specified criterion. The students’ reading and spelling skills of standard syllables after the learning were significantly higher than before the learning at the .05 level. Furthermore, the students overall satisfaction with the game-based learning management combined with skill exercises was at the highest level.
