THE DEVELOPMENT OF DANCE PRACTICE SKILLS AND POSTURE LANGUAGE USING DAVIES PRACTICAL SKILLS TEACHING MODEL OF FROTH-YEAR PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

This research is a semi - experimental research. The researcher designed the experimental process using the One-Group Posttest-Only Design. The objectives of this research were to 1) compare the skills of performing dance terminology and sign language using the Davies' practical skill teaching model after studying compared to the 80 percent criterion, and 2) study the satisfaction of students with the teaching management using Davies' practical skill teaching model. The sample group used in the research were 14 students in Grade 4/1, Tessaban 6 School (Wat Muang Yala), Muang District, Yala Province, who were selected by cluster random sampling. The research instruments were 1) 6 lesson plans using Davies' practical skill teaching model, 2) a test of performing dance terminology and sign language skills using Davies' practical skill teaching model, and 3) satisfaction with the teaching management using Davies' practical skill teaching model. Statistics used in data analysis 1) Basic statistics: percentage, mean, and standard deviation. 2) Statistics used in the reliability analysis used the alpha coefficient of the satisfaction test. Cronbach's alpha coefficient statistics were used to test the research hypothesis by testing the hypothesis using the One Sample t-test. The research results found that the results of the comparison of dance vocabulary and sign language skills using the Davies' practical skills teaching model after learning compared to the 80 percent criterion of the 4th grade primary school students had a post-learning score higher than the 80 percent criterion (= 16.71, S.D. = 0.35) significantly at the .05 level. 2) Satisfaction with the teaching management using the Davies' practical skills teaching model was at the highest level overall (=4.56, S.D. = 0.25). Students had better dance vocabulary and sign language skills and could develop to a higher level for greater efficiency.
