Abstract

The objectives of the present study were 1) to develop melodic practical skills of grade 4-6 students in the Music Club using Direct Instructional Model together with STAD Technique so that the students made a mean achievement score of 70% in practical skills and at least 70% of the group pass the 70% criterion and 2) to study the students’ satisfaction with the learning management using Direct Instructional Model together with STAD Technique.  The study is a pre-experimental design in which the One-Shot Case Study procedure was applied.  The target group consisted of 20 grade 4-6 students in Ban Pangson School, under Udonthani Primary Education Office Service Area 3, during the second semester of the 2019 academic year.  Research instruments consisted of 6 lesson plans basing on Direct Instructional Model together with STAD Technique and took 12 instructional periods to complete, 2) an 8-item melodic practical skill assessment form with a 5-level rating scale, and 3) a 15-item assessment form with 5-level rating scale for assessing the students’ satisfaction with the learning management using Direct Instructional Model together with STAD Technique.  The collected data were analyzed by applying basic statistics of arithmetic mean, percentage and standard deviation. The findings are 1) The students made a mean score of 79.95 or79.95% of the full marks on their development in melodic practical skills through Direct Instructional Model together with STAD Technique, and 16 students or 80% of the group passed the prescribed passing criterion of 70%; 2) On the aspect of students’ satisfaction with the learning management using the Direct Instructional Model and STAD Technique, as a whole, was at the “high” level (= 4.39, S.D. = 0.60).
