Scenario - Based Learning Management to Enhance Active Citizenship Competencies of Mathayom Suksa 2 Students at Wat Khiri Nak Rattanaram Community School, Lopburi Province

Abstract

   The purposes of this study were to: 1. develop scenario-based learning activities to enhance active citizenship competency among Grade 8 (Mathayom 2) students; 2. compare the students’ active citizenship competency before and after participating in the scenario-based learning activities; and 3. examine the students’ satisfaction with the learning activities. The target group were 23 Grade 8 students in the first semester of the 2025 academic year, selected through purposive sampling. The research design was a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design. The research instruments included scenario-based learning activity plans, an active citizenship competency assessment form, and a student satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation.

   The findings revealed that: 1. the developed scenario-based learning activities were rated at a high level of appropriateness; 2. The students' active citizenship competency after participating in the learning activities was significantly higher than before the implementation, and 3. the students’ overall satisfaction with the scenario-based learning activities was at the highest level. The findings indicate that scenario-based learning is an effective approach for enhancing students’ active citizenship competency. Furthermore, it can be appropriately applied to social studies instruction in various contexts.
