Effects of Using the SQ5R Teaching Method on The Analytical Reading Ability for Students in Prathom Suksa 5

Abstract

Background and Aims: Reading is an important foundation for lifelong learning and helps to access information easily. Reading fluently and understanding the meaning bring knowledge and encourage analytical thinking, critical thinking, and application of information that is beneficial to life. If students can read analytically, it will result in being knowledgeable person reasonable, and think carefully before making a decision. Therefore, the researcher has studied the SQ5R teaching method to use in teaching reading because it is a teaching method that has systematic and efficient steps. This method can be able to connect knowledge by reflecting and expressing opinions through a collaborative discussion process, resulting in a greater understanding of the reading passages. The objective of this research was to compare the analytical reading abilities of Prathom Suksa 5 before and after using the SQ5R teaching method.

Methodology: The research sample consisted of 41 people, Prathom Suksa 5/4 students, Wat Don Mueang School, the first semester, the academic year 2023 by Simple Random Sampling. The research instruments were 1) an analytical reading lesson plan using the SQ5R teaching method, 3 lesson plans, 2 hours per a plan and total of 6 hours; 2) an ability test in analytical reading, multiple choice, 4 choices, 30 questions. The statistics used were mean percentage, standard deviation, and t-test dependent.

Results: The research results found that the analytical reading ability score of grade 5 students: pre-learning using the SQ5R teaching method, has an average was 13.98 and a standard deviation was 4.03., and post-learning using the SQ5R teaching method, the mean was 21.27 and the standard deviation was 3.63. Conclude that analytical reading ability post-learning using SQ5R teaching method higher than pre-learning, statistically significant at the .05 level.

Conclusion: After receiving instruction using the SQ5R method, grade 5 students' analytical reading ability significantly improved, as indicated by the data, which demonstrates a statistically significant improvement at the.05 significance level.
