1. DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL OF BLENDED LEARNING USING MOBILE APPLICATION BASED ON CONSTRUCTIONISM THEORY TO PROMOTE CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS AND SCIENTIFIC MINDS OF VOCATIONAL CERTIFICATE STUDENTS

ARISA SUPON — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The objectives of this research were: 1) to develop and determine the efficiency of the science instruction model of blended learning using a mobile application to promote creative problem-solving skills of Vocational Certificate Students, and 2) to study the results of implementing this instructional model. The sample of this study consisted of 30 students in the accounting program at Uttaradit Vocational College, selected by cluster random sampling. Research instruments consisted of the science handbook for the model, units, and lesson plans, science learning achievement test, creative problem-solving skills tests, and scientific minds assessment forms. Statistics employed for data analysis were the percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The research findings showed: 1. the model called “5PA Model” consisted of five elements: principle, objective, learning process, Evaluation, and important conditions for using the model. The instructional process included six steps: 1) Preparation, 2) Provocation, 3) Planning, 4) Practice, 5) Presentation, and 6) Application. The efficiency of the instructional model was 81.53/80.47. 2. The “5PA Model” results revealed that students had academic achievements higher than the 70 percent criteria with statistical significance at the .05 level after studying. They had a higher level of development in creative problem-solving skills and a higher level of scientific mind.

DUANGPORN SAWANGSRI , ADIREK FUNKIEW — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The purposes of this research were to (1) study the problems and the needs of participation of the Sufficiency Economy Learning Center, Banjadeekho Community, and (2) develop, trial, and evaluate the operation project of the Sufficiency Economy Learning Center, Banjadeekho Community. This research was participatory action research. The samples were 291 people who lived in the Banjadeekho Community. The informants consisted of 21 leaders and community representatives. The research tools included interview forms, questionnaires, meetings, and project evaluation forms. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews and Appreciation Influence Control (AIC). The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and content analysis. The results were as follows:

(1) In general, the problem of participation in the sufficiency economy learning center, Banjadeekho Community, was at a high level. The highest mean was the participation in the evaluation. The need for participation in the Sufficiency Economy Learning Center was at a high level. The highest mean was the participation in the operation. (2) The development, trial use of the project, and operation of the participation of the Sufficiency Economy Learning Center were initiated through the participation of community leaders and representatives who wanted the project of making bio-extract to enable participants to apply their knowledge about making bio-fermented water to their daily lives. (3) The project performance evaluation results revealed that participants had the highest level of knowledge in making bio-extract. Follow-up after the training revealed that participants applied the knowledge gained to address the problem of chemical use in agriculture, resulting in reduced chemical residues in water sources and livestock, and also reduced the cost of purchasing chemicals.

This research aimed to: 1) study the current conditions and the needs for developing an information system to support teaching practicum, 2) develop the information system to support teaching practicum, 3) evaluate the performance efficiency of the developed system by experts, and 4) assess user satisfaction with the system. The samples consisted of 120 participants, including student teachers, mentor teachers, advisors, and practicum staff, selected through stratified random sampling. The research tools comprised: 1) a questionnaire on current and desired conditions using a dual-response format and the Priority Need Index (PNI Modified), 2) a system performance evaluation form using a five-point Likert scale, and 3) a satisfaction evaluation form using a five-point rating scale. The statistics used in data analysis were the mean and standard deviation.

The results revealed that: 1) the current conditions were at a high level, while the desired conditions were at the highest level. The most significant priority need was the information search and retrieval module, with a PNI Modified value of 0.0638. 2) The developed information system consisted of five modules: student module, mentor teacher module, supervising lecturer module, practicum staff module, and administrator module. 3) The evaluation of the system’s performance efficiency was at the highest level. 4) User satisfaction with the system, overall, was also at the highest level.

5 THE CONFIRMATORY OF FACTOR ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC MIND OF NEW ERA OF NURSING STUDENTS IN THE NORTHERN AREA

Toonlanat Thuanthong, Pajaree Polprasert — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This research aimed to analyze the confirmatory factors of the public mind among nursing students in the new era at Rajabhat University in the northern region. The samples were 500 nursing students. Data was collected using a questionnaire based on 5 scales. The data were analyzed using second-order confirmatory factor analysis.

The results showed that there were seven factors in the public mind of nursing students in the new era. Professional identity in nursing was the foremost factor, followed by the influence of technology and love, altruism, and harmony, each assigned a weight of 0.95, 0.90, and 0.89, respectively. The reliability values ranged from 0.905 to 0.959, and the convergence validity ranged between 0.577 and 0.703. The model demonstrated a goodness of fit to the empirical data, with Relative Chi-square = 2.04, CFI = 0.967, TLI = 0.952, GFI = 0.938, and RMSEA = 0.046.

The results of this study can be used in planning to encourage the public mind of nursing students in the new era.
