Instructional Activity Design Using the Flipped Classroom Technique to Enhance Academic Achievement of Mathayomsuksa 4 Students in History

Abstract

   This research aimed to: 1. develop a learning activity plan utilizing the flipped classroom technique, 2. compare students’ learning achievement before and after the implementation of the flipped classroom technique, and 3. assess students' satisfaction with the learning approach. The sample group consisted of 30 tenth graders, section 2, enrolled in a history course during the first semester of the academic year 2024 at Thawung Wittayakarn School. The participants were selected through simple random sampling using classrooms as the sampling unit. The research instruments included 15 lesson plans designed based on the flipped classroom technique, a 30-item multiple-choice learning achievement test, and a 15-item satisfaction questionnaire. The statistical methods employed included mean, standard deviation, and dependent t-test analysis.

   The research results were as follows: 1. the developed lesson plans, based on the flipped classroom technique, comprised 15 learning activity plans, which were evaluated by experts and received an average rating at the highest level ( = 4.81, S.D. = 0.25); 2. a comparison of students’ learning achievement before and after the intervention indicated that students who engaged in the flipped classroom approach demonstrated significantly higher post-learning achievement scores ( = 21.55, S.D. = 0.67) compared to their pre-learning scores ( = 14.50, S.D. = 0.45) at a significance level of 0.05; and 3. students’ satisfaction with the flipped classroom approach was reported at a high level ( = 4.30, S.D. = 0.45).
