Abstract

            This research article aims to study (1) Develop of a skill training set for reading comprehension of Thai literature Ngao Pa using the 5W1H technique for Prathomsuksa 4 students to meet the specified efficiency criteria of 80/80; (2) Determine the effectiveness index (E.I.) of the training set for reading comprehension using the 5W1H technique; (3) Compare the learning outcomes between the use of the training set for reading comprehension with the 5W1H technique and conventional teaching methods; and (4) Compare students' satisfaction with the training set for reading comprehension using the 5W1H technique versus conventional teaching methods. Research methodology was quasi-experimental design with two groups. The population consists of 847 Prathomsuksa 4 students under Catholic Education Council of Thailand, studying in the second semester of the academic year 2567, affiliated with Office of Private Education Commission, Chonburi Province. The sample group comprises 265 Prathomsuksa 4 students from Maryvit School in the second semester of the academic year 2567, selected through simple random sampling. The research instruments include: (1) a skill training set for reading comprehension of Thai literature Ngao Pa using the 5W1H technique with a mean score at the highest level (X = 4.80); (2) a lesson plan for organizing learning activities using the 5W1H technique, with a mean score at the highest level (X= 4.91); (3) a lesson plan for organizing conventional learning activities, with a mean score at a high level (X= 4.49); (4) a skill assessment test with all items having acceptable content validity (IOC = 1.00) and a reliability level classified as good (KR-20 = 0.81); and (5) a satisfaction questionnaire with content validity for all items (IOC = 0.67 to 1.00) and reliability at a good level (α = 0.79). The statistical methods used for data analysis include percentage, mean, Standard Deviation, normalized Gain, and independent t-test.

            The research results were found as follows: (1) efficiency of the training set for reading comprehension in Thai literature Ngao Pa using the 5W1H technique for Prathomsuksa 4 students was 82.17/84.67, meeting the set criteria; (2) effectiveness index (E.I.) of the training set for reading comprehension using the 5W1H technique was 0.5978; (3) learning outcomes using the training set for reading comprehension with the 5W1H technique had significantly higher than those of conventional teaching methods at the .01 level of significance; and (4) students' satisfaction with the training set for reading comprehension using the 5W1H technique was significantly higher than that with conventional teaching methods at the .01 level of significance.
