The consistency of lesson plans was outstanding (M = 4.13, SD = 0.15). The second result of using the Old Nyah Kur learning unit for practical skills development in folk performance and Thai cultural loved characteristics of second students discovered that. 1) The mean post-test result of studying practical skills in folk performance and the Old Nyah Kur learning unit was higher than the pre-test, which was 41.67 percent (3.75) and 78.89 percent (7.10) for the post-test. 2) The post-test score for practical skills in the Old Nyah Kur learning unit was significantly greater than the pre-test score at the significant level of 0.05. 3) The results of the Thai cultural loved characteristic of students after utilizing the Old Nyah Kur learning unit showed that the mean of the pre-test was 49.33 percent (7.40), and the post-test was 85.00 percent (12.75).
