THE DEVELOPING SKILLS IN READING MUSICAL NOTES AND PLAYING THAI MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS USING DAVE’S INSTRUCTIONAL FOR GEADE 8

Abstract

  The purposes of this research were to; 1) compare students' note-reading skills before and after being taught using Dave's practical skill teaching model. 2) compare students' Thai music playing skills before and after being taught using Dave's practical skill teaching model. 3) study the learning behaviors of Grade 8

students taught using Dave's practical skill teaching model, and 4) examine the satisfaction of Geade 8 students after being taught using Dave's practical skill teaching model. The population used in this study consists of 440 Geade 8 students from 11 classrooms during the 2023 academic year at Satthasamut School in Samut Songkhram Province. The sample group used in this research was Matthayom 2/5 students from Satthasamut School, who were studying in the second semester of the 2023 academic year, selected through simple random sampling. The research instruments included: 1) 12 lesson plans for music activities, 2) a note-reading skill assessment form; 3) Thai music playing skill assessment form; 4) a student learning behavior observation form; 5) a student satisfaction questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.78. The statistical methods used were mean, standard deviation, t-test, and content analysis. Research findings indicate that: 1.There is a statistically significant difference at the.05 level in students' music note reading skills before and after being taught using Dave's practical skills teaching model. This aligns with hypothesis 1, which states that students' music note reading skills are higher after the teaching intervention using Dave's practical skills teaching model compared to before the intervention. 2.There is a statistically significant difference at the .05 level in students' Thai music playing skills before and after being taught using Dave's practical skills teaching model. This aligns with hypothesis 2, which states that students' Thai music playing skills are higher after the teaching intervention using Dave's practical skills teaching model compared to before the intervention. 3.The learning behavior of Geade 8 students who were taught using Dave's practical skills teaching model, in general, was observed to be at a high level. 4.The overall satisfaction of Geade 8 students after being taught using Dave's practical skills teaching model was found to be at the highest level.
