THE EFFECTS OF BRAIN - BASED LEARNING MANAGEMENT ON READING ABILITY AND SATISFACTION GRADE 1 STUDENTS

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) compare the reading ability of grade 1 students before and after receiving brain-based learning management, 2) compare the reading ability of grade 1 students after receiving brain-based learning management with a criterion of 70% of the full score, and 3) study the satisfaction of grade 1 students received brain-based learning management. The sample was 20 grade 1 students of Ban Udomsap School under the Office of Kamphaeng Phet Primary Educational Service Area office 2 by cluster random sampling. The research instruments in this research were 1) the 6 brain-based learning management plans with the highest appropriate level, 2) the 20 items reading ability test with validity between 0.67 – 1.00, difficulty between 0.38 – 0.75, the discrimination between 0.33 – 0.75 and a reliability at 0.76, and 3) a questionnaire on satisfaction toward Learning in Thai Subject with validity between 0.67 – 1.00 and a reliability at 0.75. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, dependent samples t-test, and one-sample t-test. The research findings were as follows:1) Grade 1 students who received brain-based learning management showed an average pretest Thai reading ability at 12.60 with a standard deviation at 2.01, and an average posttest at 16.05 standard deviation at 1.85. It was found that students' posttest Thai reading ability was significantly higher than pretest at the .05 level. 2) Grade 1 students who received brain-based learning management had an average posttest Thai reading ability at 16.05 standard deviation at 1.85. It was found that student posttest Thai reading ability was significantly higher than the 70% criterion of the full score at the .05 level. 3) Grade 1 students who received brain-based learning management satisfaction with a mean score of 2.88 and a standard deviation of 0.23.
