The Effects of the Bingo: Stop in Time, Life Won’t Be Ruined Activity on the Attitudes toward E-Cigarette Use of Lower Secondary School Students

Abstract

This research has two objectives: 1) to compare attitudes toward e-cigarettes before and after using the "Bingo Stop, Live Enough, Life Unbroken" activity set among lower secondary students at Wat Thong Khung School "Phairoj Prachasarn," and 2) to develop the "Bingo Stop, Live Enough, Life Unbroken" activity set for lower secondary students at Wat Thong Khung School "Phairoj Prachasarn." This is an experimental study. The population and sample consisted of lower secondary students at Wat Thong Khung School "Phairoj Prachasarn," aged 13-15 years old. The sample was purposefully selected, totaling 38 students, with 15 males and 23 females. Data collection tools included a teaching management set consisting of 3 lesson plans, which showed a Content Validity Index (CVI) of 1.00, and an attitude measurement questionnaire about e-cigarettes, with an Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) value ranging from 0.67 to 1.00. The statistics used were mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The research findings showed that: revealed that the mean attitude scores toward e-cigarettes after learning were higher than those before learning at a statistically significant level of .05. Specifically, the mean scores for the three weeks after learning were 2.38, 2.83, and 3.18, compared to before learning scores of 2.17, 2.44, and 2.99. The development of the "Bingo Stop, Live Enough, Life Unbroken" activity set, based on the Love Model, was found to be effective for use in activities related to e-cigarettes. It produced positive learning outcomes by changing students’ attitudes toward e-cigarettes. The learning activities following the Love Model involved: Learners acquiring accurate knowledge about e-cigarettes through questioning and exploring information (L); expressing opinions confidently and openly listening to others' perspectives (O); appreciating health values and reflecting on what they learned (V); and becoming role models in changing negative attitudes toward e-cigarettes for themselves and others (E).
