THE DEVELOPMENT OF RAM MAE BOT YAI SKILL THROUGH A LEARNING BY USING DAVIES’ PRACTICAL TEACHING MODEL COMBINED WITH THE TIKTOK APPLICATION

Abstract

This research aimed to (1) develop an instructional model using Davies' practical skill teaching method combined with the TikTok application to enhance Mae Bot Yai dance skills with an effectiveness that meets the 80/80 criterion, (2) compare students’ dance performance with the 80 percent benchmark to assess the model’s effectiveness, and (3) examine learners’ satisfaction with the learning activities conducted under this instructional framework. The study adopted an experimental research design. The target group consisted 37 first-year undergraduate students majoring in Thai Classical Dance at the Faculty of Education, Buriram Rajabhat University, who were enrolled in the Ram Mae Bot course during the second semester of the 2024 academic year. The participants were selected through purposive sampling. Research instruments included a lesson plan developed according to Davies’ model of practical skill teaching in combination with the TikTok application, a performance evaluation form for assessing Mae Bot Yai skills. The research findings revealed that the development of Mae Bot Yai dance skills through the instructional model of practical skill teaching by Davies combined with the TikTok application achieved an effectiveness score of 84.20/86.49, which meets the set criterion of 80/80. A comparison of students’ post-instruction dance performance against the 80 percent benchmark showed an average performance of 86.49 percent, which is higher than the standard. Furthermore, the learners’ satisfaction with the learning activities was at the highest level ( = 4.79, S.D. = 0.42).
