This research aims to achieve the following objectives 1) to develop the efficiency of cooperative learning management using the Jigsaw Technique in the History, subject: specifically of Counting and Comparing Eras for Grade 7 students at Khlongkiewying Wittaya School, and 2) to compare the learning achievement of the students before and after instruction using cooperative learning management with the Jigsaw Technique in Counting and Comparing Eras. The sample group for this research consisted of 40 Grade 7 students at Khlongkiewying Wittaya School, enrolled in the first semester of the academic year 2025, selected using purposive sampling. The statistics used in the research were percentage, mean (𝑥̄), standard deviation (S.D.), and t-test for dependent samples.

Research findings indicated that

The efficiency of cooperative learning management using the Jigsaw Technique was found as follows Set 1 (out of a full score of 10) Mean was 9.67, with a standard deviation (S.D.) of 0.62. Set 2 Mean was 9.77, with a standard deviation (S.D.) of 0.77. Set 3 Mean was 9.25, with a standard deviation (S.D.) of 0.93. This indicates that the cooperative learning management using the Jigsaw Technique helped students understand the content in Counting and Comparing Eras, leading to improved learning achievement. The Jigsaw Technique also promoted self-responsibility and responsibility towards group members, and fostered communication skills, exchange of ideas, and teamwork skills. Consequently, the efficiency of cooperative learning management using the Jigsaw Technique was E₁ = 88.00 and E₂ = 80.15, which met the established hypothesis of 80/80.

The comparison of learning achievement before and after instruction using cooperative learning management with the Jigsaw Technique showed: Pre-test: Mean (𝑥̄) was 7.00, with a standard deviation (S.D.) of 3.56. Post-test: Mean (𝑥̄) was 16.03, with a standard deviation (S.D.) of 1.17. Comparing the mean difference between the pre-test and post-test scores, with the critical t-value at the level of 1.68, it was found that the students' post-test scores were significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the .05 level of statistical significance.

The Relationship between Participative Management and School Effectiveness in the Krabi Old Town School Network, Mueang District, Krabi Province

peeraphat Kaewchansri — 2025-12-31

The purpose of this research was to examine the levels of participative management among school administrators, the levels of school effectiveness, and to analyze the relationship between the two variables in the Krabi Old Town School Network, Mueang District, Krabi Province. The sample consisted of 100 government teachers, determined using the Krejcie and Morgan sample size table. The research instrument was a five-point rating-scale questionnaire, validated for content validity and yielding an overall reliability coefficient of .94. Descriptive statistics—percentage, mean, and standard deviation—were employed, along with inferential statistics using Pearson’s Product–Moment Correlation Coefficient.

The findings revealed that participative management among school administrators was rated at a high level. Administrators demonstrated practices that encouraged teachers and personnel to take part in decision-making, planning, and monitoring school operations, reflecting a democratic administrative model grounded in transparency, mutual trust, and shared responsibility. Among the dimensions, participation in decision-making received the highest mean score (x̄ = 3.66, S.D. = 0.40), while the overall mean of participative management was also high (x̄ = 3.64, S.D. = 0.23), indicating consistent engagement across multiple administrative dimensions.

School effectiveness was likewise found to be at a high level (x̄ = 3.74, S.D. = 0.29), covering areas such as student learning outcomes, teacher quality, instructional management, resource utilization, and collaboration with parents and the community. These results highlight the strong administrative capacity of schools within the network, both academically and organizationally.

The correlation analysis showed that participative management was positively correlated with school effectiveness at a moderate level (r = 0.513, Sig. = .000), statistically significant at the .01 level. This suggests that schools whose administrators promote appropriate staff participation tend to achieve higher levels of overall effectiveness. The findings align with the concepts of Likert (1967) and Hoy and Miskel (2012), who emphasize that participative management enhances trust, cooperation, and organizational commitment—key components of coherent and effective school operations. The results also correspond with contemporary studies indicating that participation from teachers, parents, and communities is a crucial factor influencing student achievement and the long-term strength of educational institutions.

In conclusion, the study demonstrates that participative management serves as an essential mechanism for improving school quality across all dimensions, particularly within the diverse and resource-varied context of the Krabi Old Town School Network. Providing opportunities for teachers and stakeholders to participate in planning, implementation, and evaluation not only strengthens transparency and organizational unity but also contributes to sustainable educational improvement that responds effectively to the needs of learners and the community.

A SOCIOLOGICAL LENS ON THE STUDY OF THE OREO GANG PHENOMENON

Nopparat Rattanaprathum — 2025-12-31

The academic article, “A Sociological Lens on the Study of the ‘Oreo Gang’ Phenomenon,” aims to demonstrate how sociological theories and concepts can be applied to understand youth behavior by using the “Oreo Gang” as a case study. The phenomenon reflects imitative behavior from role-playing (Roleplay) through the game GTA V and the supplemental platform FiveM, which resulted in real-world violence. The study employs five major sociological perspectives—(1) structural functionalism, (2) conflict theory, (3) social action theory, (4) symbolic interactionism, and (5) postmodernism—to analyze the dynamics of violent behavior and the formation of youth identity in digital contexts. The article is organized into four main sections: (1) characteristics of the GTA game and the FiveM platform, (2) a timeline of violent incidents related to the “Oreo Gang,” (3) fundamental sociological theories, and (4) applications of sociological theories to interpret the case study. This article contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between virtual environments and real-life behavior among youth, while promoting the effective use of sociological perspectives in analyzing contemporary social phenomena.
