This study aimed to develop and evaluate a lesson package on Buddhist duties using the MIAP (Motivation, Information, Application, and Progress) Active Learning model for secondary students in Phrapariyattidhamma schools. The research was conducted to address the need for more engaging and effective instructional methods in religious education, particularly in the context of monastic schools where traditional teaching methods often dominate. The study employed a quasi-experimental design, involving pre-tests and post-tests to assess the academic achievement and satisfaction of students before and after the implementation of the lesson package. The sample consisted of secondary students (n: 60) from selected Phrapariyattidhamma schools, selected by Taro Yamane Formula. The results demonstrated significant improvements in student academic performance and a high level of satisfaction with the lesson package. The findings suggest that the MIAP Active Learning model can effectively enhance the teaching of Buddhist duties, providing a more interactive and student-centered learning experience. This study contributes to the ongoing efforts to modernize religious education in Thailand by integrating contemporary educational strategies into traditional Buddhist curricula.
