Abstract

This research article aimed to develop students Burmese communication skills through the topic “Phopphra: A Place Worth Visiting” using active learning strategies integrated with the instructional model “POCKET Knowledge to SERVICE Skill.” The target group consisted of 114 Mathayom Suksa 3 students at Chumchon ban Phopphra School, Tak Province. The research instruments included a learning achievement test, a SERVICE skill assessment form, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Data collection followed six instructional steps: P (Pick up content), O (Object lesson plan), C (Carry out), K (Knowledge check), E (Exhibiting), and T (Time of game and exam). Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and pre-test/post-test comparison.

The research findings showed that students post-test scores significantly improved from an average of 6.02 to 13.45. Their SERVICE Skill scores also increased from 8.09 to 17.54. In addition, students expressed the highest level of satisfaction with the learning model, especially in applying the knowledge to real-life situations. The results demonstrate that the instructional model effectively enhanced students language skills and has the potential to be adapted to other subject areas.
