Keywords:
Design Thinking, Small Book, Learning Media, Promote ReadingAbstract
Background and Aims: Increasing students' reading proficiency is a significant challenge for the Thai education system, which must improve all students' PBTS or PISA reading test scores to meet the required threshold. This research, therefore, has two main objectives: 1) to develop A Small Book River of Morality using the design thinking process and 2) to evaluate students' satisfaction after reading A Small Book River of Morality, which was developed using the design thinking process.
Methodology: This research used mixed methods research and was done using a style called concurrent transformative. There were 29 people who helped in the research. This group had 9 experts who checked the quality of the learning materials and 20 students who tried using the materials. The students were chosen by away called probability sampling using steps called multi-stage sampling. The research instruments included a quality assessment form for A Small Book River of Morality, developed using the design thinking process, and a student satisfaction assessment form regarding A Small Book River of Morality. The statistical methods used for data analysis were mean and standard deviation.
Results: 1) The quality assessment of A Small Book generated using the design thinking method yielded an overall average of 4.37 (S.D. 0.20), which can be viewed as highly appropriate. 2) The findings of student satisfaction with A Small Book generated through the design thinking process were equivalent to the overall average of 2.21 (S.D. 0.49), which can be considered as reasonably satisfactory.
Conclusion: The design thinking process can effectively facilitate the creation of booklets that promote reading skills and foster positive reading habits. Moreover, it contributes to enhanced user satisfaction, as the process is characterized by its systematic problem-solving approach, which aims to maximize benefits while ensuring both the creators’ and users’ engagement and satisfaction with the innovation.
