The data were analyzed by using dependent sample t-test, mean, standard deviation and content analysis. The results were as follows: 1) the learning behaviors of learners were enthusiastic and engaged in meaningful learning., 2) the level of learners’ satisfaction was at a high level ( x = 4.05, SD = 0.58) and 3) the posttest of the learning achievement of FCM-ALA was higher than before using this model at the significant level of .05. The effect of FCM-ALA improves cognitive skills and promotes life skills such as planning to allocate more time and responsibility to themself.
