The Development of Analytical and Critical Reading Abilities through the 7E Instructional Model Integrated with an Online Learning Program for Grade 11 Students

Abstract

The purposes of this research were: 1) to develop analytical and critical reading abilities through the 7E instructional model integrated with an online learning program for Grade 11 students, based on the 80/80 efficiency criterion; and 2) to compare students’ analytical and critical reading abilities before and after
the implementation of the 7E instructional model combined with the online program. The sample consisted of 36 Grade 11 students from Kham Khuean Kaeo Chanupatham School, simple random sampling by lottery. The research instruments included: 1) seven lesson plans based on the 7E instructional model integrated with an online learning program 14 hours total, and 2) a test measuring analytical and critical reading abilities. The data were analyzed using basic statistics: percentage, mean, standard deviation, and a dependent samples t-test.

              The findings revealed that: 1) the analytical and critical reading abilities developed through the 7E instructional model integrated with the online learning program achieved an efficiency (E1/E2) of 81.29/84.17, which exceeded the specified criterion of 80/80; and 2) students’ post-test scores were significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the .05 level.
