THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL BASED ON HIS MAJESTY’S FOOTSTEP WISELY TO ENHANCE ENGLISH READING COMPREHENSION AND ACTIVE

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) study the teachers’ teaching management to enhance English reading comprehension ability and active learning, the level of English reading comprehension ability, and the level of active learning of upper secondary school students. The samples were 205 upper level teachers and 382 upper level students of Secondary School under the Office of Educational Service Region 13, obtained by the stratified random sampling. collected data with questionnaires. 2) create and develop an instructional model based on His Majesty’s Footstep Wisely to enhance English reading comprehension ability, and active learning of upper secondary school students based on the research result from the first step and evaluated by the 5 experts. The model instruments are the manual, lesson plans, the test of English reading comprehension ability, active learning and the satisfaction evaluation. 3) study the experiment of an instructional model with a quasi-experiment by using the samples obtained by the cluster random sampling and divided into 2 groups : 45 students for the experimental group and 45 students for the control group, and evaluate the satisfaction of the experimental group in using model . The data were analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation, a t-test, and analysis of covariance statistic (ANCOVA).

The research findings were as follows: The teachers’ teaching management to enhance English reading comprehension ability and active Learning was at a medium level. The level of English reading comprehension ability and active Learning ability were at a lower level. The result of the evaluation of instructional model was at the most appropriate level by the 5 experts and the efficiency percentage of the learning process and the achievement was at 81.67/85.20. The model implementation showed that the average scores of English reading comprehension ability of the experimental group were statistically higher than those of the control group at the .05 level and higher than the criteria that was fixed at 75, and the active Learning ability was at a good level than those of the control group at the .05 level and higher than the criteria that was fixed at 75. The students satisfaction in using model was at a higher level.
