Learning Management by Using Role Models to Inspire and Promote Reading Habits of First Year Undergraduate Students, Chandrakasem Rajabhat University

Abstract

          The study on Learning Management by Using Role Models to Inspire and Promote Reading Habits of First Year Undergraduate Students, Chandrakasem Rajabhat University The objectives of this research were to: 1) design a learning management process by role model to inspire and promote reading habits, 2) to study the inspiration for reading after learning management using a role model, and 3) to compare reading habits before and after learning management using a role model. This was basic experimental research design. The sample was 50 first-year undergraduate students studying GELT1001 Thai for Communication at Chandrakasem Rajabhat University during the 2^nd semester of the 2021 academic year. The sample was obtained by cluster random sampling with a lottery method. The instruments were 1) the learning management lesson plan by using a role model that the level of appropriate was at the highest level 2) the student inspiration in reading checklist which the index of Item objective congruence was 1.00 and the reliability value was 0.930 and 3) the student reading habits checklist, the index of Item objective congruence was 1.00, and the reliability value was 0.937. The data were analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test one sample group and t-test dependent.
          The findings were as follows: 1. The process of learning management by using a role model was designed based on constructivist theory and teaching by inspiring learners consisted of five steps: 1) review previous knowledge 2) challenge in the classroom 3) gaining new knowledge 4) applying knowledge and 5) self-direction 2. The students’ inspiration in reading after learning management using a role model was higher than the 60% threshold with a statistical significance at the .05 level. 3. The students’ reading habits after learning management using a role model were significantly higher than before learning management at .05 level.
