The purposes of the current study were 1) to investigate problems in instructing literacy and fluency of reading and writing of Thai L1 young learners, and 2) to investigate needs in instructing literacy and fluency of reading and writing of Thai L1 young learners. There were 2 groups of participants including a group of 15 samples answering a questionnaire and a group of 10 samples taking part in an interview session. The instruments were 1) a questionnaire and 2) a structured interview to study problems in instructing literacy and fluency of reading and writing skills of Thai young learners and 3) a questionnaire and 4) a structured interview to study needs in instructing literacy and fluency of reading and writing skills of Thai young learners. The quantitative data were analyzed using percentages, mean scores, and standard deviation. Meanwhile, the results of the interview were analyzed by a qualitative analysis method. The results of the study show that 1) problems in instructing literacy and fluency of reading and writing skills of Thai L1 young learners are the learners’ knowledge in textual language systems in terms of spelling, meaning, and uses in both receptive and productive manners; 2) needs in instructing literacy and fluency of reading and writing skills of Thai L1 young learners rely on finding possible solutions to solve these problems considering the nature of young learners’ learning.
The objectives of the study were to study the effectiveness of the SQ4R technique in enhancing grade 11 students' critical reading and to investigate the students’ satisfaction with the SQ4R technique as a model of learning management in a reading class. A quasi-experimental approach was selected, and one group of participants was employed. The participants were 31 Thai grade 11 students in a secondary school in Thailand. The instruments were an SQ4R learning management plan, a critical reading test, and a satisfaction questionnaire were research instruments. The data were collected in a public school in Thailand. It took a semester to complete a pre-test, an implementation of the SQ4R learning management, a post-test, and a satisfaction survey. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean score, standard deviation, a paired samples t-test, and effectiveness index with the determining criteria of 80/80. the result shows positive effects of the SQ4R model on participants’ critical reading. It also indicates students’ satisfaction with the instructional model.
The purposes of the study were to investigate the effectiveness of the QSCCS technique on the development of grade 9 students’ summary writing and 2) to study the students’ satisfaction with learning to write a summary with the QSCCS technique. The study was conducted in a quasi-experimental design using a single group of participants. The participants were 44 students in the Thai context. They were chosen using the purposive random sampling technique. The instruments were a learning management plan designed using the QSCCS technique, a pre-post-test, and a questionnaire. The students’ scores before and after the treatment were compared using a paired-sample test. The effectiveness of the learning management was analyzed considering the students’ performances during the learning process (E1) and the students’ post-test scores (E2). Mean scores and standard deviations were also used to analyze students’ questionnaire answers. The result of the study indicates the benefits of the QSCCS technique in developing grade 9 students’ summary writing skills. In addition, it was discovered that the participants were satisfied with learning to write a summary with the QSCCS technique. The results of the study provide an alternative instructional method for teaching summary writing.
The purposes of the research were (1) to study the problems of internship of teachers in teaching mathematics programs and (2) to compare the problems internship of teachers regarding the classes and educational level. Mixed method research was employed for the study. Quantitative data from 242 sample teachers and interview data from 12 teachers. The research instruments were a questionnaire and an interview form. The statistics used were percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-test. Results of the research were as follows. 1. The research findings showed that the average problem of the teachers about teaching Mathematics was the total and five domains at a moderate level. Whereas, assessment and evaluation at a low level. 2. The findings indicated that the problems of the teachers about teaching Mathematics regarding the secondary school teachers about teaching Mathematics was more than that of the primary school teachers at the .05 level of the statistical significance. Whereas, bachelor degree and post graduate degree was not different.
Literacy is a foundational skill essential for learners as it lays the groundwork for success in education and future careers. However, some students face challenges in acquiring this ability, as transitioning from oral language acquisition to textual communication is not a simple task. Brain-based learning (BBL) is an instructional approach that capitalizes on the functioning of the brain in designing curricula, and it holds promise in addressing these challenges. The objectives of this study were twofold: 1) to develop a BBL management approach to enhance Thai students' literacy and proficiency in reading and writing skills in the Thai language, and 2) to implement this BBL management approach with Thai students. The study was conducted in two phases. In phase 1, five experts participated in evaluating the learning management approach. In phase 2, a cluster random sampling method was used to select 78 second-grade students as participants. The research employed various instruments, including teaching management materials for developing Thai language literacy and reading and writing fluency, a learning management evaluation form, pre-posttests for literacy and reading/writing fluency, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Data analysis involved calculating mean scores, standard deviations, and conducting t-tests. The findings of the study revealed that: 1) the learning management approach comprised indicators, content, learning management processes using BBL, instructional materials, and assessments, and it received a very high evaluation; 2) the developed learning management approach proved effective in improving Thai language literacy and fluency in reading and writing. The students' literacy and fluency scores were significantly higher in the posttest compared to the pretest. Moreover, students expressed a very high level of satisfaction with the learning experience provided by the developed learning management approach.
