The Effects of Learning Management Based on Thai Language Wisdom Using Riddle Games

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) develop a Thai language wisdom-based learning management plan using the Game-Based Learning (GBL) approach, and 2) compare students’ learning achievement before and after participating in game-based learning approach. The target group consisted of 30 Grade 5 students at Ban Tan Ton (Khuru Pracha Samakkhi) School. The research instruments included 1) three instructional plans, 2) an instructional plan quality evaluation form, 3) a pre-test to assess learning achievement, and 4) a post-test to assess learning achievement. The statistical methods used for data analysis were: 1) mean, 2) standard deviation, and 3) dependent samples t-test. The research findings revealed that: 1) The overall quality of the developed Thai language wisdom-based instructional plans using the game-based learning approach were evaluated at a high level (𝑥̅ = 4.00). 2) The comparison of pre-test and post-test results showed that students’ post-learning achievement scores were significantly higher than the 70% criterion with a statistical significance level of .01.
