Abstract

This research aimed to: (1) develop and evaluate the effectiveness of learning activities using Thai language instructional storytelling integrated with Generative AI and the 5W1H questioning technique, based on the efficiency criterion of 75/75; (2) compare students’ analytical thinking abilities before and after the implementation of the instructional storytelling activities using Generative AI and the 5W1H technique, and assess whether the post-learning performance met the 70% threshold; and (3) study students’ opinions towards the learning activities using Thai language storytelling with Generative AI and the 5W1H instructional technique. The target group in this study consisted of Grade 5 students from Wat Ko Noi School, Sukhothai Province, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included lesson plans, an analytical thinking ability test, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics used in the data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and paired-sample t-test. The research findings revealed that: (1) the developed learning activities demonstrated an effectiveness of 81.64/81.23, exceeding the set criterion; (2) students' post-test scores were significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the .05 level. The mean post-test score ( = 24.69, SD = 1.34) was also significantly higher than the 70% criterion at the .05 level; and (3) students’ overall opinions towards the learning activities were at the highest level ( = 4.60, SD = 0.48).
