LEARNING MANAGEMENT USING DIGITAL MEDIA TO ENHANCE ENGLISH VOCABULARY MEMORIZATION ABILITIES OF SIXTH-YEAR PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

This research article aimed to: 1) Develop lesson plans using digital media to enhance English vocabulary memorization ability of Grade 6 students; 2) Compare students’ English vocabulary memorization ability before and after learning through digital media; 3) Examine the retention of English vocabulary after learning through digital media; and 4) Investigate students’ satisfaction with digital media–based learning. This study employed a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design. The population consisted of 159 Grade 6 students in the second semester of the 2025 academic year from 13 schools under the Jaturamitr Educational Quality Development Network. The sample comprised 24 Grade 6 students from Wat Lansa School, selected through simple random sampling using the school as the sampling unit. The research instruments included lesson plans using digital media, digital media materials, an English vocabulary memorization test, and a satisfaction questionnaire on digital media–based learning. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and dependent t-test. The results revealed that: 1) The lesson plans using digital media were appropriate at a high level; 2) Students’ English vocabulary memorization ability after learning was significantly higher than before learning at the .01 level; 3) Students’ vocabulary retention two weeks after learning through digital media was not significantly different from the posttest results; and 4) Students’ overall satisfaction with digital media–based learning was at a high level.
