Abstract

This study aimed to: 1) compare students’ learning achievement on the topic of the royal duties of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother and the promotion of Thai wisdom and culture through the historical method instructional approach in order to enhance historical literacy, and 2) compare students’ historical literacy through historical reasoning before and after learning using the historical method instructional process. The sample group consisted of 45 Grade 10 students studying in the second semester of the 2025 academic year at Sisaket Wittayalai School, selected through cluster random sampling using the classroom as the sampling unit. The research instruments included: 1) lesson plans based on the historical method learning process, 2) a learning achievement test on the royal duties of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother and the promotion of Thai wisdom and culture, and 3) a historical literacy assessment through historical reasoning. The data were analyzed using a dependent t-test. The findings revealed that: 1) the post-learning achievement scores of Grades 10 students taught through the historical method instructional process were significantly higher than the pre-learning scores at the .05 level, and 2) the students’ historical literacy and historical reasoning abilities after learning through the historical method instructional process were higher than before learning scores at the .05 level.
