The Study of a Learning Management Model for Thai Reading Based on Constructivist Theory in Conjunction with Cooperative Learning to Enhance Reading Competency for Grade 6 Students

Abstract

Background and Aims: Organizing learning to read Thai that will Somprasong Klinjek promote students' reading ability. Teaching methods and learning management formats must be adjusted accordingly, which will help develop and encourage students to have increased reading ability. Become a learner in the 21^st century who has the ability to read and create knowledge. and applying knowledge to develop creativity into innovations in reading. The aims of this research were to: 1) study the basic data and elements of a learning management model for thai reading based on constructivist theory in conjunction with cooperative Learning to enhance reading competency for grade 6 students, and 2) develop a learning management model for thai reading based on constructivist theory in conjunction with cooperative Learning to enhance reading competency for grade 6 students.

Methodology: This research used a mixed-method research which was conducted through 2 interrelated stages. Stage 1; the synthesis of components an instructional model and approved by 11 educators using the delphi technique and Stage 2; the developing of an instructional model and approved by 5 educators. The sample group was students in Prathom 6/2 at Sankhaburi Kindergarten School. Under the Chainat Primary Educational Service Area Office, 30 people are studying in the second semester of the 2023 academic year. The tools used in the research were: 1) Assessment of basic information and elements of the learning management model 2) Assessment of the quality of the learning management model and 3) Reading competency assessment for grade 6 students. The statistics used in this research included the percent mean and standard deviation.

Results: 1. The results of the study of the basic information and components of the learning management model found that the basic information of the learning management model includes: 1) conditions for learning to read thai, 2) learning management format, 3) reading competency, and 4) components of reading competency. As for the elements of the learning management model, it consists of 5 elements: 1) principles, 2) objectives, 3) contents, 4) learning management processes, which consists of 5 steps: (1) Step of surveying previous experiences Adding new knowledge (2) Problem setting and grouping step (3) Research and practice step (4) Development and application step, can be extended (5) Evaluation step exchange knowledge and 5) measurement and evaluation. and 2. The results of evaluating the quality of the developed learning management model found that the learning management model was appropriate at the highest level ( \bar{x} = 4.73, S.D.= 0.11)

Conclusion: Research results indicate that learning management model for thai reading based on constructivist theory in conjunction with cooperative Learning to enhance reading competency for grade 6 students, this development can be used in organizing learning activities. As a result, learners will have learning outcomes that reflect the development of abilities, skills, and attitudes, being able to integrate knowledge and apply it in real life and students learn through grouping processes It will help develop and encourage students to have increased reading ability.
