Netchanok Treerayapiwat, Sarinporn Chaivisit — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Generative artificial intelligence has rapidly spread to the public all over the world, reaching users in various industries, including education. The application of generative artificial intelligence in education presents both benefits and risks that impact higher education. Consequently, a thorough understanding and empirical data on generative artificial intelligence in education are essential. This study was therefore conducted utilizing the framework of SWOT analysis by searching, collecting, and examining relevant literature. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of generative artificial intelligence in higher education were analyzed and identified. The identified positive outcomes include: (1) strengths, namely the creation of interactive messages in natural language; support for multiple languages; instant replies and direct answers to questions; ease of access for beginners; and the capacity to generate diverse content; and (2) opportunities, namely widespread public accessibility; personalized learning support; assistance with homework; specialized tutoring and exam preparation; support for writing and brainstorming; facilitation of research and information retrieval; and aid in producing teaching materials and exams. Conversely, the identified negative outcomes include: (1) weaknesses, namely ambiguity and lack of explainability; system bias; incorrect or unavailable information in response to commands; privacy and data security issues; and ethical and legal risks; and (2) threats, namely the necessity to develop a generative artificial intelligence policy for education; modifications to teaching and assessment methods; changes to educational management; addressing the issue of declining learning skills among students; ensuring equal access to generative artificial intelligence; and combating the threat of academic dishonesty. These findings will be beneficial to students, teachers, educators, educational technology experts, and policymakers, as they provide a comprehensive analysis of both the benefits and threats of generative artificial intelligence in education. This analysis can inform the development of strategies for integrating generative artificial intelligence into higher education in the future.

Warat Wongsang — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The General Education Center at Chulalongkorn University has played a vital role in promoting learning from the past to the present by offering education both inside and outside the classroom, as well as through various life experiences. The concept of lifelong learning has been incorporated into human resource development and has become a key policy within the Thai education system. This approach aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim to provide quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all. In higher education across Thailand, including at Chulalongkorn University, general education courses are designed to give students a well-rounded education, develop essential life and work skills needed for the 21st century, and cultivate them as valuable citizens. The center's core missions include offering general education courses, fostering a conducive learning environment, organizing the Chulalongkorn University Values Integration Program (CUVIP), implementing strategic projects, managing networks, providing services, and developing faculty and staff. The center also focuses on advancing the Chula Neuron digital knowledge repository. Moving forward, the center faces increasingly challenging tasks such as developing online courses, expanding the learner base, fostering collaboration with internal and external networks, and generating revenue. These initiatives aim to build the General Education Center into a leading institution in both education and lifelong learning, aligning with Chulalongkorn University's vision and strategies, and addressing the country's needs.

Practical Guide for Music Teaching from the Complete Theoretical and Practical Piano Forte School Op. 500 by Carl Czerny

Chanyapong Thongsawang — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Carl Czerny, a pianist and composer, was one of the most diligent piano pedagogues of the 19^th century. Apart from his renowned etudes and exercises for developing finger dexterity, he composed a large number of pieces, mainly for piano. His oeuvre includes at least 861 works with opus number, an autobiography, and important treatises. Amongst his treatises is the Complete Theoretical and Practical Piano Forte School, op. 500, consisting of four volumes. In the first two volumes of this treatise, Czerny provides progressive clear instructions on the development of pianistic technique, as well as elementary principles of music and a doctrine of fingering, all illustrated with numerous examples. In the third volume, Czerny discusses the refinement of expression and the understanding of musical style, including even the caprice of the performer. The last part, published as a supplement to the third volume, explains stylistic elements of new romantic compositions and performance commentary on piano works by his teacher, Ludwig van Beethoven. This comprehensive piano method can be usefully applied for teaching contemporary pianists along with Czerny’s technical exercises and as a significant reference source of performance practice. In this article, alongside Czerny’s notes on Beethoven’s teaching, the overview of the content of the whole treatise is summarized with demonstration of selected examples to give a practical guide for teachers and pianists to study and further develop a systematic pedagogical method by Czerny, which might be forgotten nowadays.

Nanthaka Supreeyaporn, Chaiyun Sakulsriprasert — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Teachers play a crucial role in providing primary mental health support to students. However, previous studies showed that teachers’ mental health literacy is still limited. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of mental health literacy programme (The CARE) for secondary school teachers. This study used a quasi-experimental research design (pretest-posttest with control group). The research involved 48 class teachers and guidance teachers from secondary schools in Chiang Mai province, selected through simple randomized sampling. The sample was divided into experimental and control groups, each consisting of 24 participants using simple random sampling. The research instruments comprised 1) a demographic questionnaire 2) a mental health literacy test for teachers, and 3) a questionnaire on perceived self-efficacy regarding mental health for teacher. Data were analysed using mean, standard deviation, chi-square (χ2), t-test, and repeated measures MANOVA. The results demonstrated that after participating in the programme, the experimental group had significantly higher mental health literacy scores (M = 15.83, SD = 1.60) and perceived self-efficacy score (M = 64.04, SD = 4.61) than the baseline at the .016 level of significance. Additionally, analysis of the interaction between the experimental and control groups and measurement time revealed a significant effect on both mental health literacy scores (F(1, 46)= 24.69, p = .000, η²= .349) and perceived self-efficacy scores (F (1, 46) = 76.77, p = .000, η²= .625). In conclusion, The CARE programme significantly enhances mental health literacy and strengthens perceived self-efficacy among secondary school teachers, equipping them to provide effective initial support to students with mental health needs in schools.
