The purpose of this research is to create and develop a training program to decrease cognitive students’ load status. The documents, which were studied to enable the program design, came from the results of a training program undertaken by a specific group sample of 30 Nakhon Ratchasima Rajabhat University students. The assessment was used to measure the appropriate cognitive load status, which was at a consistent level of 4.47. The statistics used in the data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and a repeating one-way ANOVA.
Through the training program, research results showed that 1) the state of cognitive load was 14 times decreased, and it consisted of three steps: Initial step, Processing step, and Termination step of training. It was also assessed and reviewed by five experts, who found the assessment results were appropriate at a high level, and 2) students who participated in the training program had a significantly lower score after the training program than before the training program at a 0.01 level. The mean score before the experiment was 3.10 (SD=1.06) and the mean score after the training program was 2.15 (SD=0.53). The 15-day follow-up score, the mean score was 2.14 (SD=0.49), which found that the decrease of the automatic load status was statistically significant at 0.01.
