Abstract

This study aimed to: 1) explore the learning instruction model for the “One Class - One Project” activity through project-based instruction (PBI) in grades 7, 9, 11, and 12, and in the Independent Study (IS) projects of students in grades 8 and 10 by investigating pre-test and post-test results; 2) examine the effect of PBI on students’ creativity using the project evaluation form with an 80% pass rate criterion; and 3) assess students’ satisfaction with PBI. The sample included 832 students in 36 classes at Traimit Wittayalai School, Secondary Educational Service Area Office, Bangkok, Area 1. The research tools included an analytical thinking test administered before and after the activities (pre-test and post-test) and a satisfaction survey to assess students’ satisfaction with creativity. Data analysis employed statistical tests, mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The findings revealed that: 1) the students’ post-test scores were statistically significant higher than their pre-test scores at the 0.05 level; 2) students organized projects based on their interests, meeting the 80% pass rate criterion for creative thinking skills assessment; and 3) students’ satisfaction with project-based instruction was high, particularly in terms of learning facilities and knowledge.
