| 4.2.2 Participation rate in organized learning (one year before the official primary entry age), by sex | Considering the facts that Thailand's governmental standard of admitting children of 6 years old for the primary school 1st grade and that all 28 children participating in the project's organized learning program are under 6 years old, the proportion of female to male children is about 6 : 4 (17 females to 11 males.) | |
Through children’s tales as the main apparatus, the undergraduate students from the Children’s Literature program utilized their skills and resources from CL213 and CL312 courses to provide meaningful and inspiring experiences to a group of 28 kindergarten students between 4 and 5 years of age at Ban Khao Arng Keow school, Phetchaburi province from May 28 to May 29, 2019. A need survey of this target group was proceeded prior to the set activities. Based on the survey, various media types of the children’s tales were prepared for the set activities. Many of the media were made from cloths to accelerate the children’s micro muscle development. Such media were also deemed to activate the children’s creativity, artistic abilities and communication skills. At the end of the set activities, all of the project’s products and media were donated to the school.

The 11 male and 17 female kindergarten children were benefited from the set activities, which included telling tales, taking part in interactive games, and playing with cloth toys. A significant level of their developments involved the following areas:
1.psychomotor development from dealing with the cloth toys. Since the psychomotor development could be seen significant, few cases of ADHD children could be discerned.;
2.creativity development from participating in interactive games relating to the tales they listened to;
3.the sense of gender equality both from group contact and physical contact encouraged by the set activities;
4.literary skill development from attempting to retell the children’s tales.
