Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) develop cooperative learning activities using Teams-Games-Tournament (TGT) technique integrated with SQ5R reading strategy to enhance third-year students' learning outcomes in Food Business Economics, 2) compare students' learning outcomes before and after the intervention, and 3) assess third-year students' satisfaction with the cooperative learning approach. The sample consisted of 30 third-year students from the Food Business and Nutrition program, Faculty of Agriculture, Ubon Ratchathani Rajabhat University, in the second semester of 2024, selected through cluster sampling. Research instruments included: 1) lesson plans incorporating TGT technique and SQ5R reading strategy, 2) pre- and post-tests measuring learning achievement, and 3) student satisfaction questionnaires.  Statistical analyses employed frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, and t-tests. The research findings revealed that: 1) the collaborative learning activities using TGT technique combined with SQ5R reading method demonstrated the highest quality level in the lesson plans, 2) students' learning outcomes in Food Business Economics after implementing the collaborative learning model with TGT technique and SQ5R reading method were significantly higher than before the intervention at the .05 statistical significance level, and 3) third-year students' satisfaction levels after experiencing collaborative learning activities using TGT technique combined with SQ5R reading method were at the highest level.
