Abstract

              The purposes of this study were : (1) to study the efficiency of eight lesson plans which were created from the concept of Scaffolding for Reading Activity and Brain-based Learning Activities in order to promote Mathayomsuksa 5 students’ English reading ability with the required efficiency of 75/75 (E1/E2), (2) to study the effectiveness index of those lesson Plans, and (3) to study students’ reading ability after teaching students with those plans. The samples of this study consisted of 35 Mathayomsuksa 5 students attending in the first semester of the academic year 2019 at Nakhonphanomwittayakhom School, Mueang district, Nakhomphanom province. They were selected by cluster random sampling technique. The instruments used in this study were : (1) eight lesson plans created from the concept of Scaffolding for Reading Activity and Brain-based Learning Activities, three hours per each plan; (2) a 40 items reading test, and t-test (dependent sample) for hypothesis testing.


                             The Results of the study were as follows:


  1. The lesson plans created from the concept of Scaffolding for Reading Activity and Brain-based Learning Activities in order to promote Mathayomsuksa 5 students’ English reading ability had efficiency of 77.87/75.79, which was higher than the established criterion.

  2. The effectiveness index of lesson plans created from the concept of Scaffolding for Reading Activity and Brain-based Learning Activities created was 0.64

  3. After organizing lesson plans using the integration of Scaffolding for Reading Activity and Brain-based Learning Activities with sample group, the mean scores of all students in the post-test were higher than in the pre-test. It showed the statistical level of significance of 0.50.
