ACTIVITY-BASED LEARNING WITH PHONIC TECHNIQUES TO PROMOTE SPELLING READING ABILITY AND PARTICIPATION IN LEARNING BEHAVIOUR OF FIRST GRADE STUDENTS

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to study the development of reading and spelling abilities of First Grade students by activity-based learning with phonic techniques 2) to study the participation in learning behaviour of first Grade students by activity-based learning with phonic techniques.The sample group used in the research was first Grade students at BanBon School, Kui Buri District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. Who are studying in the first semester of academic year 2024,1 room, 11 people, obtained by means of cluster random sampling (Cluster Random Sampling). The researchinstruments were 1) Activity-based learning plan combined with phonics techniques the consistency index value is between 0.67 – 1.00 2) Test to measure reading and spelling ability It has a consistency index value of 1.00, a discriminatory power value between 0.40 - 0.70, a difficulty value between 0.30 - 0.60 and a confidence value (KR -20) equal to 0.89 and 3) Behavioral assessment of participation in activity-based learning combined with phonic techniques It has a consistency index value of 1.00 The statistical analysis employed were mean, standard deviation and one – way Repeated Measure for data analysis.

The research summary as follows : 1) The development of spelling skills in first grade students after implementing activity based learning along with phonics techniques showed a significant improvement at the .05 level of statistical significance. 2) The participation behavior of first-grade students towards activity-based learning combined with phonics techniques is at a very good level.
