Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) with Mind Mapping on the reading comprehension and the satisfaction of students. A pre-experimental design was employed, and 30 Matthayomsuksa Five students at Rajadamri School were chosen using cluster random sampling during the 2021 academic year. The research instruments used to collect the data for this study included English lesson plans for Matthayomsuksa Five students using CSR with Mind Mapping Technique, Pretest-Posttest, and a questionnaire on learning satisfaction. The data from pre-test and post-test was analyzed by t-test, mean scores, and standard deviation. Additionally, student satisfaction was analyzed through questionnaires using mean and standard deviation. The findings of the study revealed a significant increase in reading comprehension ability after utilizing CSR with Mind Mapping at the .05 level, indicating the effectiveness of this approach. Furthermore, students expressed high levels of satisfaction with studying CSR with Mind Mapping, as evidenced by an average score of 3.51-4.50 and a mean score of 3.69. Overall, this study highlights the positive impact of CSR with Mind Mapping on the reading comprehension and satisfaction of the students. These findings have significant implications for language educators seeking to enhance their teaching methods and the learning outcomes of students.
