Abstract

        This research aimed to 1) compare the 70 percent criterion score of the Thai language reading ability of Grade 2 students after learning under the brain-based learning management together with educational games and 2) compare against the 70 percent criterion score of the Thai language writing ability of Grade 2 students after learning under the brain-based learning management together with educational games. The sample consisted of 10 Grade 2 students in an intact classroom of a school under Kalasin Primary Educational Service Area Office 1 during the second semester of the 2023 academic year, selected by multi-stage sampling.  The research tools employed were 1) ten learning management plans for brain-based learning management together with educational games requiring 20 hours of instruction, 2) a scale to assess the Thai language reading ability of Grade 2 students, and 3) a scale to assess Thai language writing ability of Grade 2 students. Statistics employed for data analysis were the mean, standard deviation, and sign test.

The research findings revealed that:

1. The Thai language reading ability of Grade 2 students who had learned under the brain-based learning management together with educational games was significantly higher than the 70 percent criterion score at the .01 level of statistical significance.


2. The Thai language writing ability of Grade 2 students who had learned under the brain-based learning management together with educational games was significantly higher than the 70 percent criterion score at the .01 level of statistical significance.
