THE EFFECTS OF USING OK5R TEACHING METHOD TOGETHER WITH CONCEPT MAPPING TECHNIQUE ON GRADE 11 STUDENTS’ COMPREHENSION READING AND SUMMARY WRITING ABILITY IN THAI LANGUAGE

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the OK5R teaching method combined with the concept mapping technique in improving comprehension reading and summary writing ability among grade 11 students. The objectives were fourfold: 1) to compare students' reading comprehension before and after learning through the OK5R method with concept mapping, 2) to compare students' reading comprehension after learning to the designated criterion of 70%, 3) to compare students' summary writing ability before and after learning, and 4) to compare students' summary writing ability to the designated criterion of 70%. In this study, the sample group consisted of thirty grade 11 students studying at from Kham Thale So Witthaya School during the first semester of the 2023 academic year, and was randomized using cluster random sampling. The research instruments include a learning management plan using the OK5R teaching method combined with the concept mapping technique, consisting of 6 lessons, each lasting 2 hours, for a total of 12 hours. a reading comprehension test comprising 20 items, and a summary writing ability test comprising 3 items. Data analysis utilized percentages, means, standard deviations, and t-test (t-test for dependent and t-test for one sample).

          The results showed significant improvements in both reading comprehension and summary writing ability. Specifically, 1) students' reading comprehension scores improved significantly after learning, as evidenced by statistical significance at the .05 level, 2) students' reading comprehension scores surpassed the 70% criterion with statistical relevance at the .05 level, 3) students' summary writing ability significantly improved after learning , as evidenced by statistical significance at the .05 level, and  4) the summary writing ability of students exceeded the designated 70% criterion, showing statistical significance at the .05 level.
