The Effect of Reap Strategy Supplemented with Using the Six Thinking Hats Questions on Thai Critical Reading Ability of Mathayomsuksa 3 Students

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to compare the critical reading ability of MathayomSuksa 3 students before and after learning by using the REAP method supplemented by using the six thinking hats 2) to compare the critical reading ability of Thai language students after learning of MathayomSuksa 3 students who were taught by using the REAP method, supplemented by using the six thinking hats with normal method.   In the first semester of the academic year 2023, 40 students were obtained from cluster random sampling. The tools used for data collection were the critical reading ability test. Data analysis by means, percentage, standard deviation. The hypothesis was tested with an independent group t-test.
The results of the research were as follows:
1) Students who are taught by using REAP tactics are supplemented by the use of six thinking hats. Ability to read Thai critically after studying was higher than before.  The mean score before learning was 16.65, after learning was 33.45. The students' ability to read critically in Thai after learning was statistically significantly higher than before the level of .05.
2) The students who were taught by using the REAP tactics were supplemented by the use of six thinking hats. The ability to read Thai critically after learning was  statistically significantly higher than the normal method at .05.
