Abstract

The purposes of this study were to 1) create 2D animation cartoon to enhance Grade 8 students’ media literacy assessment in Wat Yang (Mee Ma Na) School to be effective according to the criteria, and 2) use 2D animation cartoon  to enhance Grade 8 students’ media literacy assessment in Wat Yang (Mee Ma Na) School by comparing learning achievement before and after learning.
