Enhancing Buddhism Education Through Flipped Classroom: A Study on Learning Skill Development in Thai Primary Education
Keywords:
Flipped Classroom, Buddhism Education, Active Learning, Student Engagement, Moral DevelopmentAbstract
This study investigates the development and effectiveness of learning skills exercises in the Buddhism subject using the Flipped Classroom model among grade 6 students in Khon Kaen Province, Thailand. The research aims to explore the current conditions of learning management, develop effective learning exercises, compare student performance before and after implementing the Flipped Classroom model, and evaluate student satisfaction with the new approach. The study involved 137 students selected through simple random sampling, with pre-tests and post-tests used to measure academic achievement. The findings indicate significant improvement in student performance, with an efficiency score of 88.85/83.30, surpassing the standard criteria of 80/80. Furthermore, student satisfaction with the Flipped Classroom model was high, demonstrating its potential as an effective teaching strategy in Buddhism education. The study suggests that the Flipped Classroom model, when combined with well-designed learning exercises, can significantly enhance learning outcomes and student engagement in primary education.
