A A DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED GUIDANCE ACTIVITY MODEL TO PROMOTE HAPPY LEARNING AMONG MATHAYOMSUKSA 5 STUDENTS

Abstract

The objectives of this study were: 1) to develop an integrated guidance activity model to promote happy learning among Mathayomsuksa 5 students, and 2) to implement the developed model and study its effects on the students’ happy learning. The sample, obtained through cluster sampling method, consisted of 59 students of Mathayomsuksa 5 in the first semester of the academic year of 2021. The research instruments included: 1) the model of integrated guidance activity to promote the students’ happy learning and the instruction manual of the model, 2) an assessment form on the students’ happy learning, and 3) an assessment form on the students’ satisfaction towards the activity. The data were analyzed using means, standard deviations, and t-test independent sample. 

              The results were as follows: 1) the creation and the development of the integrated guidance activity model to promote happy learning among mathayomsuksa5 students were named "WALK-R Model", which had five procedural steps: step 1 Warmth, step 2 Active thinking, Step 3 Leaning process, step 4: Knowledge sharing, and step 5: Reflection and evaluation. The overall mean score for the suitability aspect of the activity in the model was at the high level  (  = 4.37, S.D. = 0.16), and the overall mean score for the practicality aspect of the instruction manual of the model was at the high level (  = 4.41, S.D. = 0.12).  2) The experimental group had higher learning outcomes statistically after the experiment than the control group, which learned through a normal guiding activity model, at the significant level of .05; and the experimental group’s satisfaction on the use of the model was rated at the high level (  = 4.36, S.D. = 0.15).
