Abstract
The objectives of this research were to study the characteristics of grit and ways to enhance students’ grit, develop a training program to enhance students’ grit, and examine the effects of using the training program. The participants were 30 undergraduate students of Lampang Rajabhat University, selected by voluntary selection. The instruments used in the research include interviews, a grit test, and a training program to enhance grit. Data were analyzed using basic statistics, including percentage, mean, standard deviation, and repeated measures ANOVA. The results showed that the grit of Lampang Rajabhat University students consisted of interest, deliberate practice, purpose, and hope. The guidelines for enhancing students’ grit included building self-awareness, enhancing necessary skills for learning, managing learning focusing on experience, learning from successful models, and empowering learning. In addition, the training program consisted of the development of training program purpose, creating a lesson plan, and an evaluation plan. The evaluation of the program showed that it was at a high level, and the students' grit after the experiment, and follow-up, was higher than that before the experiment. Also, there was a difference between the students' grit in terms of interest and hope with statistical significance at 0.05
