This research focused on the knowledge of fake news in foreign countries and Thailand and compared the effectiveness of different teaching methods on fake news awareness. The sample group consisted of people with knowledge about fake news from foreign countries and Thailand in 2017–2021 and youth groups in the city and outside the city. The results of the study revealed that the knowledge of fake news is 1) History,
2) Definition, 3) Characteristics, 4) Factors that induce recipients to believe the message 5) Detection Method 6) Impact; 7) Institutional Role in Problem Solving 8) Case studies, and 9) Law. When evaluating the effectiveness of various teaching methods, it was discovered that the scores of urban and out-of-town youngsters before and after the game, lecture, discussion, or blended training were significantly different. It was statistically significant at the.05 level that lecture training was appropriate for urban youth and blended training was appropriate for out-of-town youth. The blended training was good for both groups of youth. All industries should increase their understanding of false news and set up a fake news detecting center. The government should have the authority to manage digital media. Social responsibility should be emphasized in digital media. and Influencers should be the right senders. Other teaching techniques, geographies, and ages should be investigated and measured several times for research purposes.
