Development Of Analytical Reading and Creative Thinking Skills Based through the 7E Learning Model Integrated with Exercise for Mathayomseuksa 3 Students

Abstract

This research article aims to 1) to develop and determine the efficiency of learning management using the 7-step inquiry-based learning approach in conjunction with skill exercises to meet the 75/75 efficiency criterion 2) to compare the analytical reading skills of Grade 9 students before and after learning through the 7-step inquiry-based learning approach with skill exercises and 3) to compare the creative thinking skills of Grade 9 students before and after learning through the 7-step inquiry-based learning approach with skill exercises. This study employs quasi-experimental research. The sample group consisted of 39 Grade 9 students in the academic year 2025 from Ban Pluk Rad School, selected through cluster sampling using classrooms as the sampling units. The research instruments included 1) skill exercises, 2) lesson plans based on the 7-step inquiry-based learning approach combined with skill exercises, 3) an analytical reading skills test and 4) a creative thinking skills test. The statistics used for data analysis were efficiency (E1/E2), mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test. The research findings are as follows: 1) the efficiency of the learning management using the 7-step inquiry-based learning approach with skill exercises was 78.74/75.13, which met the specified criterion of 75/75, 2) The students’ analytical reading skills after the learning management ( 22.79, S.D. = 3.33) were significantly higher than before the learning management ( 17.08, S.D. = 2.81) at the .05 level; and 3) the creative thinking skills after the learning management ( 12.00, S.D. = 1.08) were significantly higher than before the learning management ( 5.05, S.D. = 1.34) at the .05 level.
