THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ANALYTICAL READING SKILL BY USING SQP2RS STRATEGY WITH GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS FOR MATTHAYOMSUEKSA 2 STUDENTS

Abstract

This study was conducted with the objective to 1) compare the analytical reading ability of Mathayom Suksa 2 (Grade 8) students before and after learning through the SQP2RS strategy integrated with graphic organizers; (2) compare the students’ post-instruction analytical reading ability with the 70 percent criterion; and (3) examine the students’ satisfaction with the learning activities. The sample consisted of 34 Mathayom Suksa 2/2 students from Uthai Witthayakhom School, Uthai Thani Province, in the second semester of the 2024 academic year, selected using cluster sampling. The research instruments included five lesson plans on analytical reading using the SQP2RS strategy integrated with graphic organizers, a 30-item multiple-choice analytical reading test, and a student satisfaction questionnaire. The data were analyzed using mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t-tests.

The findings of the research were as follows; 1)The analytical reading skills of eighth-grade students increased significantly after engaging in the learning activities compared to their initial abilities at the .05 significance level. 2)The post-test scores of the students surpassed the 70% proficiency benchmark at a statistically significant level of .05. 3) The overall satisfaction of the students with the learning method was rated at the highest level ( = 4.71, S.D. = 0.52)
