Improving academic achievement in the subject "Sources of Chinese Civilization" in the history subject of Mathayom 2/6 students at Yasothon Pittayakhom School using the Mind Mapping technique integrated with skill exercises.

Abstract

This research aims to 1) improve the learning achievement in the subject of Chinese Civilization Sites in History for Grade 8 students at Yasothorn Pittayakom School using mind mapping techniques integrated with skill-building exercises; 2) compare pre-test and post-test scores in the subject of Chinese Civilization Sites in History for Grade 8 students at Yasothorn Pittayakom School using mind mapping techniques integrated with skill-building exercises; and 3) develop and determine the effectiveness of skill-building exercises in the subject of Chinese Civilization Sites in History for Grade 8 students at Yasothorn Pittayakom School, integrated with mind mapping techniques, to meet the 80/80 effectiveness criterion. The research instruments included lesson plans using mind mapping techniques, skill-building exercises, and learning achievement tests. Data analysis tools included percentages, means, standard deviations (S.D.), relative improvement (RG), and innovation effectiveness (E1/E2). The research findings showed that 1) the assessment of learning achievement in the subject of Chinese Civilization Sites in History... The study found that: 1) The students in class 2/6 at Yasothorn Pittayakom School showed a relative improvement of an average of 65.20 points after the intervention, indicating a high level of improvement. 2) The students in class 2/6 at Yasothorn Pittayakom School had a post-intervention score on the topic of "Chinese Civilization's Heritage" that was 8.66 points higher than their pre-intervention score (standard deviation 2.70). Their post-intervention scores averaged 16.05 with a standard deviation of 2.87. 3) The three skill-building exercises on "Chinese Civilization's Heritage" integrated with mind mapping techniques showed a first efficiency value (E1) of 84.80% (calculated from the percentage of scores during the intervention) and a second efficiency value (E2) of 80.26% (calculated from the percentage of scores after the intervention), exceeding the set criterion of 80/80.
