THE EFFECTS OF CREATIVITY-BASED LEARNING MANAGEMENT ON CREATIVE WRITING ABILITY AND ATTITUDE TOWARD THAI LANGUAGE OF GRADE 6 STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS UNDER NAKHON RATCHASIMA PRIMARY EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AREA OFFICE 3

Abstract

     The objectives of this research were to 1) compare creative writing abilities before and after learning under creative-based learning management of Grade 6 students in schools under Nakhon Ratchasima Primary Educational Service Area Office 3, and 2) study the attitudes toward Thai language learning of the Grade 6 students after learning under creative-based learning management. The research sample consisted of 13 Grade 6 students from one Ban Yang Kratung School classroom in Nakhon Ratchasima province, obtained by multi-stage sampling. The employed research tools were 1) learning management plans for creative-based learning management, 2) a learning achievement test on creative writing ability, and 3) an evaluation form to assess attitudes toward Thai language learning. Statistics employed for data analysis were the mean, standard deviation, and t-test dependent for testing the hypothesis.

          The research results showed that:

1. The post-learning creative writing ability of Grade 6 students who learned under creative-based learning management was significantly higher than their pre-learning counterpart ability at the .01 level of statistical significance.


2. The post-learning attitudes toward Thai language learning of Grade 6 students, who learned under creative-based learning management, was at the high level.
