THE EFFECTS OF USING A GUIDANCE ACTIVITIES PACKAGE TO DEVELOP SELF- AWARENESS OF MATHAYOM SUKSA II STUDENTS OF BANG MOT WITTAYA “SISUK WART CHUAN UPPATHAM” SCHOOL

Abstract

           The objectives of this research were 1. to compare the levels of self-awareness of the experimental group students before and after using a guidance activities package to develop self-awareness; and 2. to compare the self-awareness level of the experimental group students who used the guidance activities package to develop self-awareness with the counterpart level of the control group students who undertook normal guidance activities.

            This research is a quasi-experimental research. The research sample consisted of MathayomSuksa II students in two classrooms of Bang Mod Wittaya “SisukWart ChuanUppatham” School during the 2021 academic year. with a scale to assess their self-awareness. Then, two classrooms in which their students had the lowest mean scores on self-awareness were selected and matched. The employed research instruments were 1. a scale to assess self-awareness, 2. a guidance activities package to develop self-awareness of MathayomSuksa II students, and 3. a set of normal guidance activities. Statistics employed for data analysis were the percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test.

            The research findings showed that 1. after the experiment, the experimental group students who used the guidance activities package to develop self-awareness had their post-experiment self-awareness level significantly higher than their pre-experiment counterpart level at the .01 level of statistical significance; and 2. the experimental group students who used the guidance activities package to develop self-awareness had their post-experiment self-awareness level significantly higher than the post-experiment counterpart level of the control group students who undertook normal guidance  activities at the .01 level of statistical significance.
