Abstract

            This research focuses on enhancing Chinese language achievement of Grade 11 students using the implementation of the MIA (More Integrated Approach) learning approach. The objectives of this study were (1) to develop an effective MIA learning approach that meets the criteria of 70/70. (2) to examine the effectiveness index of the MIA learning approach. (3) to compare the Chinese language achievement of students before and after implementing the MIA learning approach. The study sample consisted of 41 students from Grade 11/2 at Khwaoraisuksa School, during the second semester of the 2023 academic year. The school is under the Secondary Education Service Area Office in Maha Sarakham Province, Thailand. The sample was selected using Cluster Random Sampling. The research instruments included (1) twelve Chinese language lesson plans designed to enhance students' achievement using the MIA learning approach. (2) a Chinese language achievement test. Statistical analysis was performed using mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t-test. The findings revealed that the MIA learning approach demonstrated an effectiveness of 82.03/81.71, surpassing the set criteria of 70/70. The effectiveness index was 0.6572, indicating that the MIA learning approach led to a 65.72% increase in students' learning progress. Furthermore, the MIA learning approach significantly improved students' Chinese language achievement after the intervention, with a statistically significant difference at the .05 level.
