DEVELOPING UNDERSTANDING OF ENGLISH READING ABILITY BY USING MURDOCH INTERGRATED APPROACH WITH TREE DIAGRAM FOR GRADE 5 STUDENTS

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) To investigate the efficiency of lesson plans using Murdoch Integrated Approach with Tree Diagram for Grade 5 students to meet the standard criterion set at 80/80 2) To compare the Understanding of English Reading ability with pretest and posttest using Murdoch Integrated Approach with Tree Diagram for Grade 5 students, and 3) To study the satisfaction of Grade 5 students using Murdoch Integrated Approach with Tree Diagram activities. The sample group was 30 students from Grade 5 studying in the first semester of the academic year 2023 at Anuban Ubonratchthani School, under Ubonratchathani Office of Primary Education Service Area 1 which were selected by cluster random sampling. The research instruments consisted of 10 English lesson plans using Murdoch Integrated Approach with Tree Diagram, an English understanding reading ability test, and questionnaires for students’ satisfaction toward learning through Murdoch Integrated Approach with Tree Diagram activities. The data analysis statistics were mean, percentage, standard deviation, and performance determination of lesson plans using E₁/E₂ and Dependent Sample t-test. The results of the study were as follows: 1) The effectiveness of lesson plans using Murdoch Integrated Approach with Tree Diagram for developing Grade 5 students’ English understanding reading was 82.49/82.58 2) The compared English understanding reading ability of Grade 5 students with the posttest was significantly higher than the pretest at the .05 3) The students’ overall satisfaction toward learning through Murdoch Integrated Approach with Tree Diagram activities was found at the highest level (= 4.57, S.D. = 0.67)
