A Learning Management Model to Enhance Analytical Reading and Writing Based on Constructivist Theory and Linguistic Principles for Tenth Grade Students

Abstract

This study aimed to 1) study the current conditions, problems, and needs. 2) Develop a learning management model to enhance analytical reading and writing based on constructivist theory and linguistic principles for tenth-grade students. This research employed a research and development (R&D) process. The participants providing fundamental information included 10 English teachers teaching tenth grade, selected through purposive sampling, and 18 Grade 10 students, selected through simple random sampling. Research instruments included interviews and learning management model evaluations. Data analysis employed content analysis, mean, and standard deviation.

The research results were found as follows: 1. Teachers and students recognized the importance and necessity of improving analytical reading and writing skills to align with learning outcome indicators in the curriculum framework for greater achievement. 2. The development of the learning management model for analytical reading and writing, based on constructivist theory and linguistic principles, resulted in a model with the following components: (1) Principles and rationale (2) Objectives of the learning management model (3) Fundamental principles, concepts, and theories (4) Principles of the learning management model (PAE Model) (5) Learning management process, consisting of nine steps: Step 1: Introducing students to new challenges Step 2: Reviewing and self-assessment. Step 3: Evaluating one's thoughts and prior beliefs, Step 4: Opening up to change and engaging in collaborative learning, Step 5: Exploring and identifying new approaches. Step 6: Selecting appropriate strategies, Step 7: Acquiring essential knowledge and skills for reading and writing, Step 8: Practicing roles and building confidence, and Step 9: Assessing knowledge and performance in reading and writing (6) Social system and learning support (7) Measurement and evaluation Additionally, expert evaluations of the learning management model indicated a high level of appropriateness.
