https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/OJED/article/view/273743
<p>The purposes of this descriptive research were: 1) to study the existing conditions and problems, and 2) to propose instructional guidelines for promoting geo-literacy among upper secondary school students. Data were collected by using surveys and qualitative interviews with a sample group, consisting of 312 high school social studies teachers. From this group, there were 10 teachers who specialized in teaching geography. The research tools included a questionnaire and interview form, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics percentages, arithmetic average standard deviation and content analysis. This study found that, in terms of teacher preparation, teachers lack up-to-date knowledge and skills in teaching geography and lack continuous support for knowledge and skill development. In terms of learning objectives, teachers lack an understanding of the components of geo-literacy, resulting in a failure to link learning objectives with geo-literacy components. In terms of teaching activities, Teaching lacks variety and interest, and there is a lack of technology use in teaching activities. In terms of media and learning resources, Teachers still lack modern media and learning resources. There is also inconvenience in using media and a lack of facilities that support the use of geographical media and learning resources. In terms of assessment and evaluation, there is a lack of effective assessment methods and tools. The proposed instructional guidelines for promoting geo-literacy are: Teachers should develop their knowledge and skills in teaching geography through workshops and continuous learning. Teachers must clearly define learning objectives that cover the components of geo-literacy. They should organize teaching activities using geospatial technology and hands-on practice, employ the geo-inquiry process and fieldwork. Teachers should use media and learning resources that utilize geospatial technology. They should design assessments that link with the components of geo-literacy and use authentic assessment methods with scoring rubrics.</p>Natchayakorn SingsatornWichai Sawekngam

https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/OJED/article/view/274566
<p>The objectives of this research were: 1) to explore the effect of a memory-based strategy for vocabulary instruction via online games on enhancing vocabulary size, and 2) to investigate students’ opinions on this memory-based strategy for vocabulary instruction via online games. The participants of this study were 37 tenth-grade students from a public school in Chiang Rai province, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included lesson plans with vocabulary online games corresponding to each step of the memory-based framework. Online audio flashcards were used in the first step to introduce new words. Matching pairs and finding a match were employed in the second step to understand the meanings of the words. In the third step, anagrams and crosswords were used to link the meanings of the words with their forms. In the final step of consolidating the words, quiz games were implemented. Vocabulary size was assessed through pre and post-tests, student reflections, and semi-structured interviews. Analysis using paired sample t-tests, mean, standard deviation and content analysis revealed that students' scores after using the memory-based strategy (<em>M</em> = 14.76, <em>SD</em> = 4.28) significantly increased from their pre-test scores (<em>M</em> = 9.22, <em>SD</em> = 3.07), with statistical significance at the .05 level. Additionally, students expressed positive opinions about the memory-based strategy for vocabulary instruction via online games. This research found that the strategy can be effectively used to increase vocabulary and can be adapted for other learning topics. The study also highlights that learning English vocabulary becomes more enjoyable and memorable, particularly through matching games that pair words with images, aiding in acquiring new vocabulary more effectively.</p>Wipasinee Honboonherm
