Development of English Reading Potential Using the Blended Teaching Techniques of SQ6R with Local Context Based Learning for Undergraduate Students

บทคัดย่อ

This research aimed to 1) create a set of learning activities using the blended teaching technique SQ6R with a local context-based learning 2) assess the learning management outcomes for the development of reading skills for better comprehension through a collaborative skill-building approach along with the SQ6R technique 3) compare students' English language reading abilities for pre-learning and post-learning comprehension. The research design was quantitative research. The research area was Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok, Chanthaburi province.
The sample group was undergraduate students who enrolled in English for Study Skills course in the first semester of the academic year 2023.The 55 samples were obtained using the purposive sampling method. The research tools were four sets of learning activity modules that employed the blended teaching technique SQ6R with a local context-based learning. Data analysis was conducted using a One-Way ANOVA statistical test to compare differences between the means of two dependent variables (T-test Dependent).

The research findings revealed that the researchers had developed a set of learning activity modules using the blended teaching technique SQ6R with a local context-based approach. There were four sets of modules: 1. Local Food for Life ( = 4.24) 2: Seasons Change ( = 4.31)
3: Chanthaburi Only ( = 4.33) and 4: Christmas in Chanthaburi ( = 4.39). The overall average score was 4.32 ( = 4.32, SD = 0.08). 2. The assessment results of the learning activity modules using the blended teaching technique SQ6R with a local context-based approach, both pre-learning (E1) and post-learning (E2) equal 83.43/85.71, which was higher than the set criteria. 3. The mean score of the pre-test for students at Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok, Chanthaburi Campus was 8.77 (29.23%). After receiving instruction using the learning activity modules, the post-teaching test yielded a mean score of 24.41 (81.34%). Furthermore, the comparing of reading abilities of the students before and after receiving instruction using the learning activity modules, it was found that the students' reading abilities were significantly higher after instruction at a statistical significance level of 0.05.
