Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to assess students' performance in Mathayom 4/1 at Triam Udom Suksa Nomklao Kabinburi School. And 2) to develop historical thinking skills by using the GPAS 5 Steps learning management for Grade 4/1 students at Triam Udom Suksa Nomklao  Kabinburi School, Prachinburi Province. The study involved 42 students in the four classes (Mathayom 4/1) at Triamudom Suksa Nomklao Kabinburi School. These students were chosen using a purposive method based on specific criteria, which included being enrolled in a class with a focus on science and mathematics and having moderate academic performance. The data was examined using descriptive statistics to calculate percentages, and content analysis was also conducted.

The research results revealed that the Mathayom Suksa 4/1 students in the first semester of the academic year 2024 achieved a total score of 21 points across 7 items. Most students performed at level 3 or higher, which indicates very good performance. Additionally, the study found that the GPAS 5 Steps learning management method effectively contributed to the development of historical thinking skills among the Mathayom 4 students at Triam Udom Suksa School. Overall, teachers need to encourage students to improve their information-gathering skills. Students work together to organize historical information on "Telling the Stories of the Ancestors Legend of the Oriental People." They plan and act with the participation of other students, and also check and solve any problems that occur in the process. This approach allows students to learn independently while creating value for society and benefiting the public through the dissemination of their work
