Abstract

            The objective of this research was to develop academic achievement in analyzing literary values in the Phaak Khon Erawan episode of Ramakien among Grade 9 students through the use of gamification. The sample group consisted of 25 students from Class 3/6 at U-Thong School during the second semester of the 2022 academic year, selected using convenience sampling. The research instruments included: 1) a lesson plan integrating the analysis of literary values in Phaak Khon Erawan with gamification strategies, and 2) a pre-test and post-test measuring academic achievement in the Thai language related to the literary values of the Phaak Khon episode. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, percentage, and the dependent sample t-test to compare the students' academic performance before and after the intervention.

            The results revealed that the students’ ability to analyze the literary values of the Phaak Khon Erawan episode significantly improved after participating in the learning activities using gamification. The post-test scores were significantly higher than the 80% benchmark at the .05 level of statistical significance.
