The Result of Thai Language Learning Activities Using Simulations. To Strengthen Communication Skills in Time of Crisis For Students in grade 9

Abstract

This article aimed 1) to study communication skills in crisis after studying with Thai language learning activities by using simulation for students in Grade 9, 2) to compare communication skills in crisis of students in Grade 9 after studying Thai language learning activities by using simulations compared to 70 percent of the criteria. The sampling group was students in Grade 9, total 35 students, in 2nd semester of academic year 2021, Chatrakan Wittaya School, under Phitsanulok-Uttaradit Secondary Education Service Area Office, which obtained by simple random sampling. The research instruments consisted of 1) Thai language learning activities by using simulations to strengthen communication skills in crisis for students in Grade 9, 2) plan of Thai language learning activities by using simulation, and 3) assessment form of communication skills in crisis for students in Grade 9. The statistics used in the data analysis were mean, standard deviation and one sample t-test. The results of the research showed that; 1. The students had the ability to communicate in crisis after studying with Thai language learning activities by using simulations in all 4 elements, namely understand of crisis situations, use language in crisis communication, speed of communication, consciousness in controlling the situation at moderate level, and have the ability to communicate in crisis, both from fire and earthquake crisis at moderate level. 2. The students had the ability to communicate in crisis after studying with Thai language learning activities by using simulations was higher than 70 percent of the criteria at the significant level of .05.
