DOI: https://doi.org/This research aims to: 1) Study the need for pre-ordination preparation among students using a mobile Buddhist application in Phrapariyattidhamma schools, department of general education. 2) Develop a pre-ordination learning package for students using a mobile Buddhist application in Phrapariyattidhamma schools, department of general education with an efficiency standard of 80/80. 3) Compare pre-test and post-test scores of students using the pre-ordination learning package via the mobile Buddhist application in Phrapariyattidhamma schools, department of general education. 4) Evaluate students' satisfaction with the use of the pre-ordination learning package via the mobile Buddhist application in Phrapariyattidhamma schools, department of general education. The research was conducted in four phases: Phase 1: Study of the need for pre-ordination preparation. The sample group consisted of school administrators and teachers from Office of the Buddhist Studies Area, department of general education, Area 3, with 18 schools and 72 monks/people selected by purposive sampling. The research instrument used was a questionnaire with a reliability value of 0.88. The statistical methods used for data analysis included mean and standard deviation. Phase 2: Development of the pre-ordination learning package to be effective according to the 80/80 criteria. The research instruments included the learning package for preparation before ordination, an evaluation form for the appropriateness of the learning package with an IOC value ranging from 0.60 to 1.00, and a learning assessment test with difficulty values (p) from 0.23 to 0.73 and discriminative power (r) from 0.45 to 0.82, with a reliability value of 0.95. The statistical methods for data analysis included mean, standard deviation, and efficiency values E1/E2. Phase 3: Comparison of pre-test and post-test scores of the pre-ordination learning package. The sample group consisted of 28 students from Grade 7 at Mahavajiralongkornrajavidyalaya School, Office of the Buddhist Studies Area, department of general education, Area 3, selected by cluster sampling. The research instrument was a learning assessment test with a reliability value of 0.95. The statistical methods for data analysis included mean, standard deviation, and t-test. Phase 4: Evaluation of student satisfaction with the use of the pre-ordination learning package. The research instrument was a satisfaction evaluation form with a reliability value of 0.89. The statistical methods for data analysis included mean and standard deviation. Research Findings showed that: 1. The overall need for pre-ordination preparation using a mobile Buddhist application was at a high level (Mean = 3.97, S.D. = 0.50). When analyzed by aspects, all aspects were rated at a high level, ranked in descending order: Pre-ordination preparation (Mean = 4.21, S.D. = 0.56), Pre-ordination preparation format (Mean = 3.93, S.D. = 0.70), and Basic information (Mean = 3.79, S.D. = 0.59). 2. The pre-ordination learning package for students using a mobile Buddhist application was highly appropriate (Mean = 4.44, S.D. = 0.25) and had an efficiency of E1/E2 = 80.16/80.38, which met the 80/80 criterion. 3. Students who studied using the pre-ordination learning package via the mobile Buddhist application showed significantly higher post-test scores compared to pre-test scores at the .05 significance level. 4. Students' overall satisfaction with the use of the pre-ordination learning package via a mobile Buddhist application was at a high level (Mean = 4.04, S.D. = 0.48).
