2023-11-20T14:36:34+07:00

The objective of this study was to propose strategies for academic management based on the design thinking process for sustainable development. It employed a quantitative research approach and included a sample of 124 schools under the Nakhonratchasima Primary Educational Service Area Office 4. A total of 496 informants consisted of school directors, deputy directors in academic affair, primary school teachers, and secondary school teachers. There were altogether 412 questionnaire respondents or 83.06%. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation; Priority Needs Index (PNI_modified); and content analysis.

Investigation suggested a high level of mean ( = 3.831 SD. 0.738) for the current state, and a high level of mean ( = 4.350 SD. 0.839) for the desirable state. The needs were reported for curriculum development; development of educational media, innovations, technologies, and learning sources at a high level, as weaknesses (PNI_modified = .147), and the measurement and evaluation at a high level, as weakness (PNImodified = .141). External factors were reported for the state of technologies at a high level, as weakness (PNI_modified = .147); and the development of educational media, innovations, technologies, and learning sources at a high level, as weaknesses (PNI_modified = .184). Hence, strategies for academic management based on the design thinking process for sustainable development were determined and proposed in 3 main strategies as follows. 1) Developing school curriculum focusing on design thinking process to enhance learner’s skills and abilities; 2) Developing educational media, innovations, technologies, and learning sources focusing on design thinking process to enhance learner’s skills and abilities. 3) Developing a measurement and evaluation process focusing on design thinking process to enhance learner’s skills and abilities.

Development of Fundamental Physics Laboratory by using Interactive Simulations

2023-11-22T16:31:38+07:00

This research reported the development of Fundamental Physics Laboratory by using Interactive Simulation. Physics Education Technology (PhET) consists of more than 50 simulations on https://phet.colorado.edu, including Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science and Mathematics. This article focuses on applying the simulations for the design and record of experiments for teaching Fundamental Physics Laboratory. There are four activities; 1) Motion with acceleration 2) Simple Harmonic Motion 3) Ohm’s law and 4) Electromotive Force and Internal Resistance. The results of this study reveal that the class posttest score was higher and average normalized gain was in medium gain <g> = 0.43. The students who engaged with simulations performed positive responses for using simulations in Physics labs. By using Satisfaction survey questionnaires to survey students’ responses to Interactive simulations, it is evident that the use of simulations can be effective in encouraging students’ learning of Physics concepts. Significantly, most of the students agree with the use of simulations in teaching and learning since it can help them to construct a conceptual understanding of Physics, regarding the visibility and the use of analogy.
