The Results of Cognitive Skills Development by Using the Set of Learning and Playing Line Creative Patterns for the Learners with Intellectual Disabilities at Lamphun Special Education Center

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the effectiveness of the lesson plans with the expected effective criteria of 70/70; 2) to compare the development results of cognitive skills during and after learning by using the sets of Play-based Learning line creative patterns; 3) to study the satisfaction of the parent with the development of the cognitive skills. The target group in this research was one 11-years-old boy with intellectual disabilities studying in the second semester of the 2020 academic year at Lamphun Special Education Center. The innovative instruments used in this research were: 1) Three sets of Play-based Learning line creative patterns; 2) 24 lesson plans. The instruments used for gathering data were: 1) One assessment test for the drawing skill during and after learning (posttest); 2) The parent's satisfaction interview guideline with the sets of Play-based Learning line creative patterns; 3) One behavior observation form during learning. The statistics used in the data analysis were mean and percentage.

The results of this research found that: 1) the efficiency value of the lesson plans was 71.66/75.41 corresponding to the above-mentioned criteria of 70/70; 2) the cognitive skills after learning had been developed continuously when compared to during learning; 3) The parent was satisfied with the sets of Play-based Learning line creative patterns, because the parent saw that the learner put his efforts to do the activities for developing his cognitive skills on to a higher level.
