The Development of Thai Language Learning Achievement through Active Learning Approaches on "Parts of Speech" for Grade 3 Students

Abstract

This classroom-based experimental study aimed (1) to develop an active learning instructional approach for teaching Thai language to Grade 3 primary school students, and (2) to examine the effects of active learning instruction on students’ learning achievement in the topic of types of words in the Thai language. The participants consisted of 31 Grade 3 students selected through purposive sampling. Research instruments included lesson plans, achievement tests, and observation forms. Quantitative data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and dependent-samples t-test. The results revealed that students’ post-test scores were significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the .05 level. The efficiency of the instructional model met the 80/80 criterion, indicating effective learning outcomes.
