Abstract
The purposes of the study were to examine the effectiveness of the SQ6R learning management plan on grade 8 students’ reading comprehension, to compare the participants’ reading comprehension before and after the implementation of the learning management plan, and to examine the participants’ satisfaction with the SQ6R learning management plan. 40 Grade 8 students from Phadungnaree School, Maha Sarakham, Thailand were selected through cluster sampling as the samples of the study. The research employed three key instruments: Learning management plan; pre-and post-test measuring students’ reading comprehension ability, and a questionnaire assessing students’ perceptions of the learning experience. The findings revealed that the SQ6R-based learning management plan was effective in developing participants’ reading comprehension. Additionally, students reported high satisfaction, attributing their engagement to the structured, interactive, and student-centered approach of SQ6R. The study adds empirical evidence supporting SQ6R as an effective instructional method for enhancing reading comprehension, reinforcing its applicability in educational policy and classroom practice.
