Description
Students in the three southern border provinces of Thailand, especially students in private schools teaching Islamic and general education, have begun to give importance to the Academic Astronomy Olympiad subject. However, there has been no promotion of classroom activities that will enhance the understanding of the size of the universe, which is difficult to imagine, and may result in negative attitudes toward the astronomy subject. Therefore, the researcher introduced the solar system model activity (Planet Walk) with integrated learning management (Integration Instruction) to a sample group of 40 high school students studying in private schools teaching Islamic and general education who were interested in taking the Academic Astronomy Olympiad examination. The research instruments were 1) Attitude measurement form towards studying astronomy, 2) Understanding of the distance of the solar system. The results of the research found that 1) Attitude towards astronomy was at the highest level 2) Understanding of the distance of the solar system was at a high level. Therefore, integrated learning management created a basic model that could enable students to have a good attitude and be able to understand and imagine the greatness of the universe.
