Abstract
The objectives of this action research were 1) to study a guideline of learning management using the context of global changes after the Covid-19 epidemic as a base on DNA technology to develop scientific communication competency of grade 10 students and 2) to study the development of scientific communication competency from such the learning management. The participants were 38 grade 10 students from a large secondary school in Phitsanulok province. The research tools consisted of the learning management plans based on the context of global changes after the Covid-19 epidemic, the reflection form for learning management, the activity sheet and the assessment of scientific communication competency. The content analysis was used to data analysis which were for verified the trustworthiness by the resource triangulation and method triangulation. The results showed that the good practice consists of the selection of news about changes in the world after the Covid-19 epidemic before the lesson can arouse interest and foster discussion of news related to knowledge of DNA technology. Working together in small group activities promote the exchanging of scientific knowledge and communication including the selection of appropriate communication strategies in creating works and presenting scientific knowledge that makes science understandable for others. In addition, implementation of the context of the changing world after the Covid-19 epidemic based learning showed that, the level of scientific communication competency has increased from the beginner level to the proficiency level.
