This study aimed to develop a computer-based game instructional unit to enhance students' understanding of animal aggression and courting behavior by using fighting fish as a model. This study started with the determination of key characteristics of fighting fish's aggression. Here in a southern Betta (Betta imbellis) was used in the experimental study. The results of the comparison between wild caught B. imbellis and bred B. imbellis showed that both groups displayed the same characteristics of aggression, but each group responded to a different condition. Wild B. imbellis had a stronger response to a mutual viewing test condition, while bred B. imbellis had a stronger response to a real test condition. The gained knowledge during the scientific experiment was then used to develop a computer-based game instructional unit about aggressive and courting behavior. The instructional unit consisted of four instructional games on the aggression and courtship displaying of fighting fish, and information to introduce the basic knowledge about fighting fish. It was implemented with 77 grade eleven students from a secondary school in Nakhon Pathom province, Thailand via Kolb's learning cycle (1984). Students experienced four computer games during reflective observation. They then participated in the debriefing session starting with describing their experiences, which were linked to the game playing and followed by games in real situations, and sharing their knowledge through class presentations during concrete experience and abstract conceptualization phases. Finally, they participated in discussing a new situation, sharing for implication and application, during the active experimentation phase. The results from the conceptual test, students' presentations, and interviews showed that students gained knowledge of aggression behavior and courtship behavior in animals, especially in fighting fish. Moreover, they showed positive attitudes toward the instructional unit as shown in questionnaire, interview, and classroom observation results.
