Designing Learning Activity Packages for Thai Language Instruction in Primary Schools Under the Education Fund Project

This research documents the development of learning activity packages (LAPs) for Thai language instruction in primary schools under the Education Fund Project. This development process has three objectives: (1) to improve teacher competencies in producing LAPs for Thai language courses; (2) to evaluate the implementation of the instructional package; and (3) to examine the learning outcomes of primary school students in schools under the Education Fund Project. This is a research and development project. The research sample consisted of twenty-eight teachers in seven schools under the Education Fund Project, within the jurisdiction of the Suphanburi Primary Education Area Office 3. Informants were selected by simple random sampling. The results demonstrated that the average competency score after the development of the instructional package (𝑥̅ = 17.71, SD = 1.44) was higher than before its development (𝑥̅ = 11.04, SD = 1.67), with statistical significance at the 0.05 level. The ability to create the instructional packages was overall at a very good quality level (𝑥̅ = 13.32) and the primary teachers’ attitudes toward the development of the instructional package were overall at the highest level (𝑥̅ = 4.64, SD = 0.50). The learning outcomes of primary students in schools under the Education Fund Project after learning (𝑥̅ = 17.54, SD = 1.55) was higher than before learning (𝑥̅ = 10.64, SD = 1.54).
