Development of Reading Comprehension Skills Using the MIA Learning Management Approach in Combination with LT Technique and Practice Exercises for Mathayomsuksa 3 Students at Suratthani School in Surat Thani Province

Abstract

The objectives of this study were: 1) to improve reading comprehension skills through the integration of the MIA instructional model, the LT technique, and practice exercises, with a target efficiency of 80/80; 2) to compare students’ reading comprehension performance before and after the instructional intervention; and 3) to examine students’ satisfaction with the instructional approach. A quantitative research design was employed. The population consisted of 461 Mathayomsuksa 3 students at Surat Thani School during the first semester of the 2024 academic year. A purposive sample of 30 Mathayomsuksa 3/1 students was selected. The research instruments comprised 1) instructional lesson plans, 2) practice exercises, 3) a reading comprehension achievement test, and (4) a student satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The results showed that:

            1) the efficiency scores of reading comprehension development were E₁ = 72.17 and E₂ = 71.33, which did not meet the predetermined criterion of 80/80; 2) post-test reading comprehension performance was significantly higher than pre-test performance; and 3) students’ satisfaction with the instructional approach was rated at a high level
