The Development of Critical Reading Ability of Mattayomsuksa 3 With SQ5R Learning Management Combined with KWL-Plus techniques

Abstract

Background and Aims: Information technology is currently advancing rapidly. The implementation of the SQ5R learning management system, combined with KWL-Plus techniques, is therefore essential for developing critical reading skills. This research aims to enhance the critical reading ability of Mattayomsuksa 3 through SQ5R learning combined with the KWL-Plus technique, meeting the standard of 75% or above.

Methodology: The objectives of this action research were conducted through two action research cycles. The sample group consisted of 16 students from Mattayomsuksa 3 from Bankudphai School, Ban Khwao District, Chaiyaphum Province, under the Office of Chaiyaphum Primary Educational Service Area 1, during the second semester of the 2024 academic year. The sample was selected using cluster random sampling. The research instruments included SQ5R lesson plans combined with the KWL-Plus technique, post-learning record sheets, learning activity observation forms, student interview forms, and a critical reading ability test.

Results: The critical reading ability of Mattayomsuksa 3, who participated in the SQ5R learning approach combined with KWL-Plus, met the standard of 75% or above.

Conclusion: After the learning intervention, seven students, accounting for 43.75% of the total participants, achieved a critical reading ability score exceeding the 75% threshold. And students are more interested and engaged in learning.
