There are learning activities in which learners’ study, research, collect and analyze their needs, the results of the study of information, knowledge, and process skills, as well as Apply the knowledge gained by yourself. This research aims to: (1) To develop self-directed learning activities in the environment in the community for grade 3 students to be effective. (2) To study the effectiveness index of learning activities using self-directed learning activities in the environment in the community of grade 3 students. (3) To compare the learning achievement of grade 3 students who studied with self-directed learning management on the environment in the community before and after school. (4)To study the satisfaction of grade 3 students towards self-directed learning management. The sample group used in this research was 32 students in Ban Phaeng Nong Nuea School, the second semester of the 2021 academic year, obtained by cluster random sampling. The tools used in this research were: (1) 10 plans for self-directed learning activities, (2) A 20-item achievement test, and (3) 12 questionnaires on satisfaction with learning activities.
