Abstract

This research aimed to (1) develop and examine the quality of a creative writing curriculum using task-based learning for Grade 6 students, and (2) study the effects of implementing the creative writing curriculum using task-based learning for Grade 6 students. This was a pre-experimental research study. The experimental design employed was a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 12 Grade 6 students from Ban Luang Chaeson School under the Office of Lampang Primary Educational Service Area 3 in the second semester of the 2025 academic year, selected through simple random sampling. The research instruments included the curriculum, curriculum manual, and a creative writing assessment tool. The research findings revealed that the creative writing curriculum using task-based learning for Grade 6 students comprised 6 components: 1) background and significance of the curriculum, 2) curriculum objectives, 3) curriculum content structure consisting of 3 units: Unit 1 - Opening the World of Creative Writing, Unit 2 - Awakening the Power of Imagination, and Unit 3 - From Draft to Final Work, 4) learning management approaches, 5) media and learning resources, and 6) measurement and evaluation. The curriculum was assessed as highly appropriate. The curriculum manual was assessed as highly appropriate. Students who studied using the creative writing curriculum with task-based learning demonstrated post-learning creative writing ability mean scores that were significantly higher than pre-learning scores at the .05 statistical significance level.
