Abstract
The purposes of this research were to 1) improve English reading skills and desirable characteristics using English morality tale series in local contexts through outcome-based education for grade 5 students and 2) study students’ opinions on English morality tale series in local contexts through outcome-based education. The subjects of this research were 55 grade 5 students from Narathiwat, Pattani, and Yala Provinces. They were selected based on a purposive sampling method. This study was conducted during the second semester of the academic year 2021. The instruments used in this study were English Morality Tale Series, a teacher’s manual in learning management, an English reading proficiency test, an evaluation form of the desirable characteristics, and a student opinion questionnaire on English Morality Tale Series. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, t-test, and relative gain scores. The research findings revealed that the English reading ability and the desirable characteristics of grade 5 students from Narathiwat, Pattani, and Yala Provinces were significantly higher at the .01 level after learning via English morality tale series in local contexts through outcome-based education. The effect size value was at a large level. Moreover, students’ improvement in English reading skills was at a high level while their improvement in the desirable characteristics was at the highest level. In addition, students’ opinions on English morality tale series in local contexts through outcome-based education were also highly positive.
