Abstract

This research, titled “The Use of Storyline Teaching Technique to Promote Reading Comprehension of Prathomsuksa 4 Students,” aimed 1) to compare the reading comprehension achievement of Prathomsuksa 4 students before and after learning with the Storyline teaching technique, and 2) to investigate the satisfaction of Prathomsuksa 4 students with learning management through the Storyline teaching technique. The sample consisted of 25 Prathomsuksa 4/1 ESC (Enrichment Science Classroom) students from Mahasarakham University Demonstration School (Elementary) in the academic year 2023, obtained through cluster random sampling. The research instruments comprised a 3-item multiple-choice assessment for reading comprehension achievement and a 10-item satisfaction questionnaire concerning the utilisation of the Storyline teaching technique. The statistical methods employed for data analysis included percentages, means, standard deviations, and the dependent sample t-test.

The research findings revealed the following:

1. A comparison of students’ reading comprehension scores before and after implementing the Storyline teaching method revealed that the mean score on the post-test for reading comprehension was significantly higher than that of the pre-test at the 0.05 level.

2. Students who received learning management using the Storyline teaching technique exhibited the highest level of satisfaction with their learning, with an average mean score of 4.80.
