The Results of Learning Management on the Thai Verse Drama Matthanabatha Using the Storyline Technique Combined with Simulation to Enhance Problem-Solving Skills of Grade 11 Students

Abstract

This research aimed (1) to develop lesson plans for Grade 11 students to enhance their problem-solving skills using the storyline technique combined with simulation, and (2) to analyze the problem-solving skills of Grade 11 students who participated in learning activities based on the Thai verse drama Matthanabatha through the use of the storyline technique and simulated situations. The target group consisted of 20 Grade 11 students (Class 5/7) studying in the second semester of the 2024 academic year. The research instruments were (1) lesson plans on Matthanabatha and (2) a problem-solving skills test. The findings revealed that the four lesson plans developed using the storyline technique combined with simulation were highly consistent and appropriate, meeting the criteria for classroom implementation. Furthermore, students who participated in the learning activities showed improvement in their problem-solving skills: 15% demonstrated excellent progress, 15% showed good progress, 15% showed satisfactory progress, 20% showed low progress, 5% showed very low progress, and 30% showed no progress. The results indicate that this instructional approach can serve as a useful guideline for developing Thai literature learning at the secondary level, as it offers an engaging, age-appropriate, and modern learning experience that connects literature to real-life issues relevant to students.
