EFFECTS OF USING DEMONSTRATION TEACHING WITH SCAMPER TECHNIQUE ON DANCE PERFORMANCE SKILL AND CREATIVE THINKING ABILITY IN DRAMATIC ART SUBJECT OF GRADE 6 STUDENTS

Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) Develop and evaluate a learning management plan that integrates demonstration-based instruction with the SCAMPER technique in Thai dance education; 2) Examine the dance performance skills of Grade 6 students following the implementation of this instructional approach; and 3) Assess the students’ creative thinking abilities after participating in the same instructional model. The sample group consisted of Grade 6 students from Thairath Wittaya 79 School (Ban Nong Ab Chang) in Chom Thong District, Chiang Mai Province, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included a Thai dance lesson plan incorporating demonstration-based teaching and the SCAMPER technique, a performance skill assessment form, and a creative thinking evaluation form. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The results revealed that the developed instructional plan showed high validity and appropriateness, with an Index of Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) of 0.81, indicating that it is suitable for practical application in classroom settings. The assessment of students’ dance performance skills indicated an excellent level of achievement, with an average score of 94.05%, reflecting their ability to accurately perform and convey dance movements. Additionally, the assessment of creative thinking revealed a high level of proficiency, with an average score of 87.00%, demonstrating that the integrated teaching approach effectively enhanced students' creativity.
