Abstract

This study proposed the development and implementation, as well as evaluation of the integrated active learning model focused on learning outcomes for lower secondary students in schools under local administrative organizations in Chiang Mai province, Thailand. The research had a multi-phase mixed-methods research method to develop the learning model to provide guidelines for schools, teachers, and stakeholders to identify themes that were consistent with local policies and contexts. There was also the learning management that students’ practice could be applied in everyday life and had commercial potential. The evaluation results indicated that improvement was significant in all aspects of students' learning outcomes. This model consisted of principles and concepts, objectives, systems and mechanisms, guidelines and activities for integrated outcome-based active learning management, success indicators, success conditions for model implementation, forms and documentation, and terminology and supporting explanations. The research results emphasized the effectiveness of this model, making it an example model for other schools. Although there were some concerns about the selection of themes, overall, there was a good trend in the implementation of the integrated active learning model focused on learning outcomes. The comparison results of student learning outcomes before and after model implementation indicated that the mean of the post-test was more than the pre-test, overall developed at 18.28 percent.
