Abstract:
The objectives of this research were: (1) to study the problem conditions, (2) to develop the model, and (3) to study the effectiveness of the cooperative learning management model by group learning process in Buddhism subject: Dhamma leading life for six-year primary school students at Ban Khaem Charoen School. This study was carried out by means of research and development methodology(R&D). In phase 1, a sample group included 45 students and a group of key informants included 10 participants. The research tools consisted of a questionnaire and an interview form. In phase 2, there was a sample of 30 people selected by simple random sampling. The research tools were (1) a learning management model, (2) a model assessment form, and (3) a learning achievement test. In phase 3: the experimental group consisted of 45 students. The research tools were: (1) a learning management model and (2) an achievement test. The statistics used in the research were: percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test.
The research results were as follows:
Phase 1: the mean level of opinion on the problem conditions was at a moderate level. The guidelines for developing the model: the cooperative learning management model by the group learning process in Buddhism subject: Dhamma leading life for six-year primary school students at Ban Khaem Charoen School should consist of (1) principle, (2) objective, (3) process, (4) learning content, and (5) measurement and evaluation. The learning management process should be integrated with the Jigsaw group process.
Phase 2: the cooperative learning management model with the POP-CE group process in Buddhism subject: Dhamma leading life for six-year primary school students at Ban Khaem Charoen School consisted of (1) principle, (2) objective, (3) process, (4) learning content, and (5) measurement and evaluation aspect. The quality is statistically rated at the highest level.
Phase 3: (1) the efficiency model (E1/E2) was 85.42/89.41, (2) students had higher learning achievements after learning with a statistical difference level of 0.05. (3) Effectiveness Index (E.I.) was equal to 72.81 and (4) students' satisfaction towards the learning management model was at a high level.
