EFFECTS OF SIX THINKING HATS AND CONTEXT CLUE STRATEGIES ON ANALYTICAL READING PRACTICES

Abstract

           This research aims (1) to study the problem and the causes of students (2) to study the effectiveness of the learning method by using six thinking hats with context clue strategies (3) to study the development of analytical reading ability of students. The target group of the research were 6 secondary students of Demonstration School of Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, which investigates the problem condition while practicing the teacher profession. The research methodology was divided into 3 phases; Phase 1 analyze problems in the classroom, Phase 2 develops innovation, and Phase 3 implementation. The tools used in the research were 1) lesson plans based on six thinking hats with context clue strategies with skill training and 2) analytical reading tests. The research findings were as follows: 1) The most problematic condition of the study was the identification of the importance and detail of supporting information from the reading of 12.2%. 2) The innovation used in problem solving is the learning management using the six thinking hats with prediction strategies. The results of the consistency check of the innovation by the experts found that the innovation is suitable 1.00 for use in solving the problem of analytical reading ability. 3) The average score of analytical reading ability highter than before.The results showed that the number of students passing the criterion was 66.66%. The percentage was 70, 66.67, 76.67, 73.34, 80 and 80 respectively.
