DEVELOPMENT OF LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT IN WESTERN MUSIC HISTORY USING STONE INSCRIPTION-BASED INNOVATIVE MEDIA FOR GRADE 10 STUDENTS AT PHU WIANG WITTAYAKHOM SCHOOL

Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) to develop stone inscription-based innovative media for Western music history; 2) to compare students’ learning achievement before and after learning with the stone inscription-based innovative media ; and 3) to study students’ satisfaction towards learning with the stone inscription-based innovative media. The sample consisted of 29 Grade 10/7 students at Phu Wiang Wittayakhom School, obtained through purposive sampling. The research instruments included: 1) lesson plans; 2) learning achievement tests ; and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean ( ), standard deviation (S.D.), and t-test for dependent samples. The developed innovative media was designed as a simulated ancient stone inscription to transform abstract music history content into a tangible, concrete form, containing summarized Western musical evolution across various eras with illustrations to connect with multimedia databases.

The research findings were as follows: The developed innovative media achieved an efficiency of 86.72/84.48, which exceeded the specified 80/80 criteria. The pre-test mean score was 8.83 (S.D. = 3.85), while the post-test mean score was 16.90 (S.D. = 1.68). The learning achievement after using the media was significantly higher than before at the .05 level. Regarding students’ satisfaction, all three aspects were at a high level ( ) = 4.41, S.D. = 0.41). The benefits and attitudes toward learning aspect had the highest mean score ( ) = 4.47), followed by content and activity organization ( ) = 4.39), and the quality of the innovative media ( ) = 4.37), respectively.
