Abstract

Abstract

          This research article aims to 1. develop Thai basic reading and writing skills for Grade 2 students through active learning combined with cooperative learning to meet an 80% achievement criterion; 2. compare the learning outcomes in Thai basic reading and writing skills before and after the implementation of active and cooperative learning; and 3. study students' satisfaction with Thai language instruction using active and cooperative learning. This quantitative study's sample consisted of 16 Grade 2 students from Ban Nong Hoi Pa Wai School, under the Mukdahan Primary Educational Service Area Office, in the academic year 2023, selected through cluster sampling. The research instruments included (1) an active and cooperative learning plan, (2) a test measuring Thai basic reading and writing skills, and (3) a student satisfaction assessment form regarding the Thai learning experience. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test for hypothesis testing.

The results showed that (1) students' Thai basic reading and writing skills, achieved through active and cooperative learning, averaged 85.23%, surpassing the 80% benchmark; (2) students who received active and cooperative learning instruction demonstrated statistically significant improvement in reading and writing skills at the .05 level; and (3) students expressed a high level of satisfaction with the active and cooperative learning experience.
