The Development of Thai Literature Analytical Interpretation Skills Using the Dhamma-Sakaccha Instructional Method for Grade 9 Students at Kanjanapisekwittayalai Chaiyaphum School.

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to develop students' analytical interpretation skills in Thai literature, and 2) to compare learning achievement before and after implementing the Dhamma-Sakaccha instructional method. The population consisted of 59 Grade 9 students from three classrooms during the first semester of the 2025 academic year at Kanjanapisekwittayalai Chaiyaphum School. The sample group comprised 11 students from one classroom, selected through cluster random sampling and simple random sampling. The research instruments included lesson plans using the Dhamma-Sakaccha method, an assessment form for analytical interpretation skills, and a learning achievement test. Data were analyzed using mean (), standard deviation (S.D.), and t-test.

            The research findings revealed that: 1) The students' overall analytical interpretation skills in Thai literature were at a "Very Good" level ( = 2.54, S.D. = 0.58). 2) The post-test learning achievement (= 17.18, S.D. = 2.35) was significantly higher than the pre-test scores (= 8.90, S.D. = 3.33) at the .05 statistical significance level.

            The body of knowledge derived from this research is a learning management approach using the Dhamma-Sakaccha method integrated with active learning processes. This approach systematically enhances learners' analytical interpretation skills in Thai literature, encompassing comprehension, analysis, interpretation, critical commentary, and evaluation.
