Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge memory retention after implementing a prevention course of liver fluke and bile duct cancer into the curriculum for the upper secondary students in the Northeast region, Thailand. We conducted a quantitative research. The target groups were grade 10 students in the Northeast region who enrolled in the curriculum. By simple random sampling technique, we selected 3 classrooms from 3 provinces located on different basins: Roi-Et in the Chi river basin, Surin in the Moon river basin, and Nakhon Phanom in the Songkram basin. Data were analyzed by mean score, standard deviation and paired t test with level of statistical significance at 0.05. It was found that 1-month knowledge memory retention score after the course of the 3 selected classroom had no statistically significant different from the posttest achievement score. In other words, students who enrolled the curriculum retain their knowledge on the prevention of liver fluke and bile duct cancer.
