Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) develop a learning management plan using Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) technique combined with concept mapping, 2) compare essay writing skills against the criteria of 70 percent, and 3) study the satisfaction level of Matthayomsuksa 1 students towards learning management using Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) technique combined with concept mapping. The sample group consisted of 35 Matthayomsuksa 1 students from one school in Chiang Rai province in the first semester of the academic year 2023, selected through simple random sampling. The research tools included: 1) a learning management plan utilizing Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) technique combined with concept mapping, 2) a test to assess essay writing skills, and 3) a questionnaire to measure students' satisfaction with the learning management using Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) technique combined with concept mapping. The statistics used for data analysis were effectiveness index, mean, standard deviation, and t-test

The findings indicated that: 1) the learning management plan utilizing Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) technique combined with concept mapping met the established criteria, 2) students' essay writing skills after the intervention were significantly higher than the 70 percent benchmark at the .05 statistical significance level, and 3) students' satisfaction with the learning management using Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) technique combined with concept mapping was at the highest level.
