Abstract

The objectives of this experimental study were 1) to develop a Thai language learning plan with SQ4R reading technique for Grade 6 students,2) to investigate the effectiveness index of the Thai language learning plan with SQ4R reading technique, 3) to compare the reading comprehension ability of Grade 6 students after SQ4R learning management with the criterion of 80 percent, and 4) to study the satisfaction of Grade 6 students towards the Thai language learning management with SQ4R reading technique for Grade 6 students. 30 Grade 6 students from Thungtham school were the sample obtained by purposive sampling. Research instruments were 1) 10 learning management plans with SQ4R Reading,2) 30 items reading comprehension test, and 3) 20 Student satisfaction questionnaire items. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, including mean, percentage, standard deviation, and a one-sample t-test, to compare the post-learning achievement results with the 80% criterion.

Findings indicated that the SQ4R learning management plan was effective, consistent with the criteria (E1/E2) of 86.58/87.63, which exceeded the criteria of 80/80, and had an effectiveness index value of 0.9104. This indicated a learning progress of 91.04 percent of students. When comparing the reading-comprehension ability to the criteria of 80 percent, the average score of students was higher than 87.63 percent, which was statistically significant at the .05 level. Regarding students' satisfaction with SQ4R learning, it was at a high level (mean = 4.43). This reflected the effectiveness of the SQ4R technique in promoting understanding, participation, and grasping key points.
