The Role of Social Studies Teachers in Fostering Global Citizenship Awareness

Anurak Kulwongsa — 2025-03-26

This academic article aims to present the role of social studies educators in cultivating global citizenship awareness among students in the 21st century, a time when the world is undergoing rapid changes in social, economic, political and cultural dimensions. Social studies teachers should promote a global citizenship perspective and methodologies to align with contemporary circumstances by emphasizing the development of skills such as analytical thinking, problem-solving, critical thinking, and critical analysis. Furthermore, they must foster awareness of cultural diversity, encourage constructive societal participation, and promote social and environmental responsibility. Social studies teachers need to design learning activities that foster global citizenship among students. These activities involve three essential components: educational strategies, global thinking, and the elements of building global citizenship. These components are essential for social studies teachers when creating learning tools, especially for teaching topics like civic culture and living in society. This includes teaching materials and assessment tools aimed at equipping students with essential 21st Century skills, such as learning and innovation skills, information, media, and technology skills, as well as life and career skills. The article presents the design of pedagogical activities to enhance students' comprehension of their role as global citizens, as well as analyzing the challenges and developmental strategies for social studies educators in preparing students to effectively address global challenges.

Art Activities in Anatomical Learning for Medical Students

Chidtralada Charoenporn — 2025-03-26

This research aims to: 1) analyze and synthesize the methods and results of using art activities in learning anatomy for medical students, and 2) develop an art activity model to support anatomy learning. The research utilizes a systematic literature review method to study previous research articles that cover art activities in anatomy learning for medical students. The articles reviewed were sourced from databases in Thailand and internationally, focusing on research published within the past five years. A total of 11 articles that met the specified criteria were selected, and the results were analyzed. The study found that using art activities to support anatomy learning aims to increase motivation for learning. These activities help students review their knowledge for a deeper understanding of the content, develop observational skills, creativity, drawing skills, as well as communication and teamwork abilities during the activities. Based on these findings, the researcher developed an approach for organizing art activities to learn anatomy for medical students, called the KSC Model (K: Knowledge, S: Skills, C: Communication). This model uses art activities to review knowledge, practice drawing skills, and practice presenting to others. It enables learners to develop cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains, fostering motivation, knowledge retention, and long-term memory.

Support Guidelines to Promote Growth Mindsets in Public Speaking for Upper Secondary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Students

Chawisa Inyai — 2025-03-26

Effective public speaking is a crucial skill in EFL education. However, many students struggle with anxiety and low confidence, often influenced by their mindset. This study aims to 1) explore the relationship between teacher support and mindset in public speaking, and 2) propose support guidelines to promote growth mindsets in public speaking among upper secondary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. Using a two-phase sequential explanatory design: Phase 1 collected quantitative data from 250 grade-12 students in five extra-large public schools in Bangkok through a questionnaire and qualitative insights from student interviews, and Phase 2 gathered qualitative data from five teachers and scholars, with three senior professional-level teachers evaluating the support guidelines. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis. Findings revealed a positive and significant correlation between emotional and appraisal support from teachers and a growth mindset in public speaking (r = 0.200, p = .001). Based on these findings, support guidelines were developed, comprising four key components: 1) building confidence through encouragement, 2) providing resources for skill development, 3) guiding students through constructive feedback, and 4) creating a collaborative learning environment. The proposed guidelines offer actionable strategies that can be integrated into teacher training programs and curriculum design to promote students’ growth mindset and confidence in public speaking.
