DEVELOPMENT OF AN INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL USING ACTIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE ANALYTICAL THINKING SKILL AND ENGLISH LEARNING MOTIVATION OF UPPER SECONDARY STUDENTS

Abstract

The Objectives of this research article were to develop an instructional model using active learning strategies to enhance analytical thinking skill and English learning motivation of upper secondary students and to investigate the results after implementing the developed instructional model whose quality was assessed by 5 professionals. A sample of 28 eleventh-grade students was obtained by using cluster random sampling. The data collection instruments consisted of an instructional model quality assessment form, an analytical thinking skill assessment form, and an English learning motivation assessment form. The quantitative data were analyzed by using mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t - test. Descriptive content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. The findings revealed that there were 6 components of the instructional model developed by researcher including 1) objectives,                       2) principles, 3) 4 stages of B-TAA model: boosting motivation (B), team learning planning (T), analytical participation (A), and accuracy confirmation (A),                       4) learning media and resources, 5) student and teacher roles, and                                  6) measurement and evaluation. The overall quality assessment of the developed model was found at the highest level (mean = 4.83). The results of instructional model implementation indicated that the students had higher levels of their analytical thinking skills and learning motivation after the implementation at the statistical significance level of .01.
