Abstract

Abstract

This research article aimed to 1) study the community context and cultural knowledge related to the rice blessing ceremony of the Kuay–Khmer ethnic groups in Surin Province, 2) develop and evaluate the quality of a local culture-based learning promotion book titled “Rice Blessing Ceremony” for Grade 9 students, and 3) investigate the learning achievement and student satisfaction after using the developed book. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) design. The target group consisted of 24 Grade 9 students from Ban Sakad School, Surin Province, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included interviews, expert evaluation forms for the book, pre- tests and post-tests, and a satisfaction questionnaire.

The findings revealed that 1) the rice blessing ceremony among the Kuay–Khmer community consists of essential components, including the worship of the Rice Goddess (Mae Posop), preparation of ritual offerings, performance of the ritual by village elders, and a celebration after the ceremony. The ritual reflects the community's faith, local wisdom, and its role in fostering unity. 2) The developed book was rated by experts as being of very good quality (mean score = 4.69) and met the 80/80 efficiency criterion with an score of 81.66/84.66. 3) Students’ post-test scores were significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the .05 level (pre-test mean = 12.87, post-test mean = 21.16), and student satisfaction with the book was at a high to very high level, particularly in terms of content, presentation style, and illustrations.

The research findings demonstrate that the developed book is an effective learning tool for integrating local cultural knowledge into the learning process, promoting identity-based education in an appropriate and sustainable manner.
