Student leaders play a role in COVID-19 prevention in schools, and they are role models for other students. This quasi-experimental study, using a one-group pretest-posttest design, aimed to compare the average scores on knowledge and practices regarding COVID-19 prevention of student leaders in Anukul Wittaya School, Mae Sot District, Tak Province. The population consisted of 18 students who were student leaders in primary level 4 to secondary level 3. Equipment used in this research included 1) a learning enhancing program on COVID-19 prevention for student leaders, developed by applying Bloom’s taxonomy; 2) learning-enhancing videos on COVID-19 prevention for student leaders; and 3) PowerPoint media. The tools used for data collection included 1) a knowledge test on COVID-19 prevention for student leaders, with each question having an index of item-object congruence (IOC) of 0.67–1 and a reliability coefficient of 0.72, using Kuder–Richardson’s KR-20 formula; and 2) a practical questionnaire on COVID-19 prevention for student leaders, with a content validity index (CVI) of 0.84 and a reliability coefficient of 0.78. Descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and the McNemar test were applied for data analysis.
The results showed that the average score of knowledge on the prevention of COVID-19 of student leaders was statistically significantly higher than before receiving the program (p < .001), and COVID-19 prevention practices of student leaders were considerably higher than before receiving the program (p = .008).
The results demonstrate that the learning enhancement program on COVID-19 prevention for student leaders can be used to develop their potential.
