An Achievement in Reading Skill of Grade 6 Students in The Primacy School Level: A Case Study of Ban Don Yai School and Anuban Lamplaimat School, Buriram Province

Abstract

This research aimed to study reading skill of grade 6 students of Ban Don Yai School and AnubanLamplaimat School to find out result and give suggestion to both educational institutions with hypothesis that the achievement of reading skill of two groups of sample in each level might be different at statistical significant level. The research finding was shown as follows: 1) The sample of both groups has achievement of reading skill as a whole at the same level, namely, fairly (49%) and good level (60.09%) respectively, in which there was the difference and similarity of achievementlevel was at excellent level, whereas an achievement of reading skill in the intermediate level was at fairly level and good level respectively, and an achievement of reading skill at advance level was lesser than the standard and fairly level respectively. This was different from the hypothesis before research which assumed that both groups of sample might have different achievement of reading skill in basic, intermediate and advance level at statistical significance. 2) An average of achievement of reading skill of both groups in basic level was more than 60% and an average of achievement of reading skill of both groups in intermediate level was more than 50% and an average of achievement of reading skill of both groups in advance level was lesser than 50%, the result of which was consistent with the assumed hypothesis at all levels. The researchers would present the research findings to both educational institutions as a report to continue further research for development of reading skill for the grade 6 students.
