Purposes: To compare mean scores of learning achievement and self - management competency before and after implementation of an experimental group and a control group, and to compare mean scores of learning achievement and self-management competency after implementation between the experimental group and the control group. Methods: The subjects were 50 eight grade students at Thung Chang School, who were selected by cluster and randomly divided equally into two groups: 25 of the experimental group were assigned to study under the health education learning activities using self - directed learning and higher order questioning techniques and 25 of the control group were assigned to study with the conventional teaching method. The research instruments were comprised of 8 health education lesson plans using self - directed learning and higher order questioning techniques and the data collection instruments included learning achievement in the area of knowledge, attitude, practice and self - management. Data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation and t - test (Paired Sample t - test, Independent Sample t - test). Results: The research finding was as follows: The mean scores of the learning achievement in the area of knowledge, attitude, practice and self - management competency of the experimental group students after learning were significantly higher than that before learning at .05 level, and the mean scores of the learning achievement and self-management competency of the experimental group students after learning were significantly higher than that of the control group students at .05 level. Conclusion: health education learning activities using self-directed learning and higher order questioning techniques had an effect on learning achievement and self-management competency of eight grade students higher than health education learning activities with conventional teaching method.
