Abstract:
This research aimed to compare 1) the seventh grade student learning achievement before
and after studying social studies on the sufficiency economy through normal pedagogic strategy, 2) the
seventh grade student learning achievement before and after studying social studies on the sufficiency
economy through the flipped classroom strategy, and 3) the seventh grade student learning
achievement in social studies on the sufficient economy studying through normal pedagogic strategy
and the flipped classroom strategy.
The sample group, selected by cluster sampling, was consisted of 89 seventh grade students

strategy lesson plans on the sufficient economy, and pre and post learning achievement tests. The data
were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test.
The research revealed that 1) as the mean of posttest scores was higher than mean of pretest
scores, the seventh grade student learning achievement after studying social studies on the sufficiency
economy through normal pedagogic strategy was higher at the significant level of .05(P<.05), 2) as the
mean of posttest scores was higher than the mean of pretest scores, the seventh grade student learning
achievement after studying social studies on the sufficiency economy through the flipped classroom
strategy was higher at the significant level of .05(P <.05) , and 3) comparing the mean of posttest scores
of these two groups, the seventh grade student learning achievement in social studies on the sufficient
economy studying through the flipped classroom strategy was higher than the normal pedagogic strategy
at the significant level of .05(P <.05)
