THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUGMENTED REALITY INTREGRATED WITH EXTENSIVE READING INSTRUCTION TO ENHANCE ENGLISH READING COMPREHENSION ABILITY FOR MATTHAYOMSUKSA 3

Abstract

The purpose of this research were 1) to examine the effectiveness of augmented reality integrated with extensive reading instruction to enhance English reading comprehension ability for Matthayomsuksa 3 students 2) to compare English reading comprehension ability between before and after learning through augmented reality integrated with extensive reading instruction and 3) to study relative development score of English reading comprehension ability after learning using augmented reality integrated with extensive reading instruction. The sample included 36 students studying in Matthayomsuksa 3 at Surasakmontree school during the first semester of the academic year 2022 selected by classroom unit-based simple random sampling. The research instruments were lesson plans, exercises and English reading comprehension pretest and posttest. Data were analyzed by percentage, MEAN, standard deviation, paired t-test for dependent samples and relative development score.
The findings of this research revealed the following.
1) The effective of augmented reality integrated with extensive reading instruction to enhance English reading comprehension ability for Matthayomsuksa 3 students measured 80.90/80.63 which was consistent with the criteria 80/80.
2) English reading comprehension ability after using augmented reality integrated with extensive reading instruction was significantly higher at the .05 level.
3) The samples’ relative development scores after learning through augmented reality integrated with extensive reading instruction measured averagely 53.98% which was at high level.
